Funding for Health Research - 6th Round of Funding Announced for Native American Research Centers for Health - May 14 Deadline
Federally-recognized Tribes, Tribal Organizations (including Tribal Colleges) and Tribally authorized Indian Health Boards are eligible to form partnerships with research institutions and apply for funding to create a Native American Research Center for Health (NARCH). The NARCH initiative, now in its eighth year and sixth funding cycle, provides funding to AI/AN Tribes or Tribally based organizations to create partnerships with research institutions and conduct high quality biomedical, behavioral and health services research that will be relevant to the needs of the Tribes. In FY 2008, almost 8 million went to NARCH grantees in grants ranging from about $100,000 to over $1,000,000.
Unlike most current federal grant applications, the NARCH-6 application will be paper-based and must be delivered by May 14, 2009.
