Application Deadline: July 6, 2018
The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) recently released a grant funding opportunity announcement (FOA) entitled,
"Strategic Prevention Framework - Partnerships for Success" (SPF-PFS).
The purpose of this grant program is to address one of the nation's top substance abuse prevention priorities; underage drinking among persons aged 9 to 20. The SPF-PFS grant program is intended to prevent the onset and reduce the progression of substance abuse and its related problems while strengthening prevention capacity and infrastructure at the state, Tribal, and community levels. These awards provide an opportunity for federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes, Tribal organizations, Urban Indian Organizations, or consortia of Tribes or Tribal organizations as well as states to acquire additional resources to implement the SPF process at the state/Tribal and community levels. At their discretion, states/Tribes may also use grant funds to target up to two additional, data-driven substance abuse prevention priorities, such as the use of marijuana, cocaine, or methamphetamine, etc. by individuals ages 9 and above.
Applications are due July 6, 2018
More information on the FOA can be found HERE.
FY 2017 Healthy Homes Production Grant Program for Tribal Housing
Deadline: July 18, 2018
The purpose of the HHP program is to assist American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal governments to identify and remediate housing related health and safety hazards. This program will assist American Indian and Alaska Native Tribal governments to develop comprehensive programs to identify and remediate housing issues that contribute to health and safety issues in urban and Tribal communities.
The Healthy Homes Production (HHP) Program is part of HUD's overall Healthy Homes Initiative launched in 1999.

The program builds upon HUD's experience with Lead Hazard Control programs to expand the Department's efforts to address a variety of high-priority environmental health and safety hazards.
12 grants from $500,000 - $1,000,000 will be awarded

Tribal Accreditation Learning Community (TALC) June Webinar
Friday, June 8, 2018, 2:00pm-3:00pm ET
National Indian Health Board (NIHB) is pleased to announce the next session of the Tribal Accreditation Learning Community (TALC). TALC is a free, monthly webinar series held the second Friday of each month. It is designed for sharing and learning about public health accreditation in Tribal communities.
Digital Storytelling: Osage Nation
To develop and implement our quality improvement processes, the Osage Nation Health provided expert training to selected departments to incorporate the art of traditional storytelling into a digital format as a creative way to report to Osage Nation and the community. Using training and guidance, the departments used the cultural tradition of storytelling utilizing digital technology to evoke emotions through stories of improvements. Jaime Clark, Public Health Nurse with Osage Nation will discuss how they used the quality improvement plan, surveys, and community health assessments to provide guidance and goals for each department to focus their story. The digital stories were developed as a tool to update leadership, legislative, health board, and the community about activities and goals met by departments within Osage Nation. National Indian Health Board invites you to attend a Web seminar using WebEx.
What's on the Horizon for Public Health Accreditation and Tribal ASI
As the 2017-2018 Tribal ASI Grant Cycle ends, we will discuss what might be next for Tribal ASI and re-cap some resources that can assist you in your continued work towards your goals.

Including Indigenous Health in Climate Change Assessments: Overview of Methods and Results from Swinomish
Tuesday, June 12, 2018 from 3:00-4:00 pm ET
Many indigenous communities are at the forefront of developing and implementing plans to address climate change in their homelands. These plans vary in focus and content, but always remain rooted in the geography of the community's homelands, making each plan unique.
One aspect of climate change planning that has been difficult to capture is potential impacts to indigenous health. The difficulty arises because mainstream evaluation methods focus primarily on physiological health, such as increased heat stroke or vector-borne diseases, while many indigenous communities see health as much more - such as complex relationships between humans, non-human beings, and the natural and spiritual worlds. These broader definitions of health do not fit in mainstream public health evaluation methods.
The Swinomish Indian Tribal Community, a Coast Salish Community in the Pacific Northwest, will discuss how they determined and evaluated projected public health impacts by tailoring the CDC's "Building Resilience Against Climate Effects" (BRACE) public health framework to better fit Swinomish health priorities. Swinomish staff Dr. Jamie Donatuto will present an overview of the Swinomish Indigenous Health Indicators-aspects of health not seen in mainstream assessments-and how to evaluate them for use in climate change evaluations and planning. Results from the Swinomish project will be shared as well as next steps. Dr. Donatuto will discuss how the BRACE framework can be tailored by other indigenous communities seeking to determine and evaluate their own unique aspects of health.
This webinar is part of the NIHB
Climate Ready Tribes
project and is made possible by funding and support from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC).
Date and Time
Tuesday, June 12, 2018 from 3:00-4:00 pm ET*
*Beginning at 2:00 pm CT, 1:00 pm MT, 12:00 pm PT, 11:00 am Alaska
Presenter
Jamie Donatuto, PhD
Environmental Health Analyst
Swinomish Indian Tribal Community
Audience
This webinar is intended for anyone working in areas related to health and climate change with indigenous communities.
Learning Objectives
By the end of this training, participants will be able to:
- Describe the modified BRACE steps used in the Swinomish health and climate change assessment
- Describe methods used to complete the Swinomish project and how they may be useful for other Tribal communities
