In response to the diabetes epidemic among American Indians and Alaska Natives, Congress established the SDPI grant programs in 1997. This $150 million annual grant program provides funds for diabetes treatment and prevention to 404 IHS, Tribal and Urban Indian health programs across the United States.
This component of the SDPI provides funds to IHS, Tribal and Urban Health Programs in all 12 IHS areas to begin or enhance local diabetes treatment and prevention programs.

This component of the SDPI provided funds to develop and implement projects in two specific areas – diabetes prevention in high risk individuals and cardiovascular disease prevention in people who already have diabetes. Funding for these projects ended in FY2009.
