Native American Research Centers for Health
The NARCH initiative will support partnerships between AI/AN Tribes or Tribally-based organizations such as the National Indian Health Board and Area Health Boards, and institutions that conduct intensive academic-level biomedical, behavioral and health services research.
These partnerships are called Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH). The purposes of the NARCH initiative are: 1. to develop a cadre of AI/AN scientists and health professionals engaged in biomedical, clinical, behavioral and health services research who will be competitive in securing NIH and AHRQ funding; 2. to increase the capacity of both research-intensive institutions and AI/AN organizations to work in partnership to reduce distrust by AI/AN communities and people toward research; and 3. to encourage competitive research linked to the health priorities of the AI/AN organizations and to reducing health disparities. The application submission date is May 16, 2008. More complete information on this initiative including the full announcement can be found at http://www.ihs.gov/medicalprograms/research/narch.cfm
