Description of Collaborative Activity: |
The Native American Research for Health (NARCH) program is a trans-NIH collaboration with the Indian Health Service (IHS) that supports collaborations between federally-recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes or Tribal organizations and research-intensive academic institutions that support health research projects prioritized by the Tribal communities. NARCH supports competitive research linked to the health priorities of AI/AN organizations and health disparities; increasing the capacity of both AI/AN organizations and research-intensive institutions to reduce distrust by AI/AN communities and people toward research; and developing a cadre of AI/AN scientists and health professionals engaged in biomedical, clinical, behavioral, and health services research who will be competitive in securing the National Institutes of Health (NIH) funding. |
