Rules from the program listing
Who can apply
Executive Order 13175, “Consultation and Coordination with Indian Tribal Governments,” 65 FR 67, 249, issued by President Clinton on November 6, 2000, and the Presidential Memorandum for the Heads of Executive Departments and Agencies on Tribal Consultation, 74 FR 57881, signed by President Obama on November 5, 2009 [http://www.gsa.gov/portal /content/101569] encourage strengthening intergovernmental relations between the federal government and AI/AN tribal nations. As such, eligibility for this CoAg is limited to federally recognized American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribal nations and regional tribally designated organizations. AI/AN tribal nations have the right of self-determination and governance over their citizens. In addition, AI/AN tribal nations and regional tribally designated organizations have a unique understanding of AI/AN cultures, fluency in Native languages, knowledge of indigenous history and traditional practices. These entities are the best qualified to address AI/AN public health needs in an efficient, effective, and culturally-appropriate manner. AI/AN tribal public health infrastructure and capacity initiatives and quality improvements are more likely to be sustained when they begin as tribal initiatives rather than as external initiatives.
What the money can and cannot pay for
Historically, tribal public health systems have been separated from the larger US public health system, which has led to limited strategic partnerships with federal, state, and local partners; underdeveloped infrastructure; data access barriers; and diminished public health workforce. Tribal health systems provide public health services across the United States and are central to reducing health disparities in tribal nations. Building tribal public health infrastructure enhances Indian Country's capacity to prevent disease, promote health, and prepare for and respond to emerging threats and chronic challenges. Implementation of business practice improvements leading to efficiencies and cost savings; education/training of workforce; integration of technology in data collection and information systems, implementation of culturally adapted and traditional evidence-based public health programs, policies and services; development of capacity to meet national standards; development of strategic partnerships to enhance capacity to implement evidenced-based public health intervention strategies; improvement responsiveness to disease trends through culturally relevant public health communication tools; and improvement in quality, availability and accessibility of public health tools and resources.
