Short Abstract:
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (A TSDR) released their Tribal Consultation Policy on October 18, 2005. The policy establishes standards to guide us in working effectively with tribes and tribal organizations and will help ensure increased tribal access to CDC programs and resources. The poJicy also outlines several venues for tribal consultation and information exchange with CDC staff and leadership that maximize both tribal and CDC staff participation. We believe that tribal partnerships will be strengthened through increased opportunities for tribal input into CDC's decision-making processes. One key venue for information exchange is the CDC Tribal Consultation Advisory Committee (TCAC). I am excited to reach out to you at this time as we begin the process of identifying TCAC members.
