This opportunity from the Indian Health Service (IHS) funds the implementation or expansion of produce prescription programs in American Indian, Alaska Native, and Urban Indian communities. The goal is to increase access to fruits, vegetables, and traditional foods through healthcare and community partnerships, integrating clinical services with nutrition education and food access strategies.
