Description

The purpose of this program is to fund Tribes, Tribal and urban Indian organizations, and intertribal consortia to provide epidemiological support for the American Indian / Alaska Native (AI/AN) population served by IHS. Tribal Epidemiology Center (TEC) activities should include, but are not limited to, enhancement of surveillance for disease conditions; research, prevention and control of disease, injury, or disability; assessment of the effectiveness of AI/AN public health programs; epidemiologic analysis, interpretation, and dissemination of surveillance data; investigation of disease outbreaks; development and implementation of epidemiologic studies; development and implementation of disease control and prevention programs; and coordination of activities with other public health authorities in the region. It is the intent of IHS to fund several TECs that will serve Tribes and urban Indian communities in all 12 IHS Administrative Areas. Additionally, this program will fund awards under Native Public Health Resilience (NPHR) and Native Public Health Resilience Planning (NPHRP) announcements to allow Tribes, Tribal organizations, and Urban Indian Organizations to enhance their capacity in implementing core Public Health functions, services, and activities, and to further develop and improve their Public Health Management capabilities. This program will be funded through two funding opportunities: NPHRP will assist recipients in establishing goals and performance measures, assessing their current management capacity, and determining if developing a Public Health program is practicable; NPHR will fund recipients� efforts in implementing such plans.
