Short Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to gather information from both HHS program officials and tribal representatives on their perspectives on various program and regulatory barriers to American Indian, Alaska Native, and other Native American (AI/AN/NA) tribes and communities accessing HHS discretionary grants, identify for HHS the most significant barriers to grants access for American Indians, Alaska Natives and Native Americans (AI/AN/NA), and consider strategies for improving access. Lessons learned about reducing barriers to funding in other recent HHS initiatives targeting special populations were also reviewed to inform the study.
