What this research studies
This project aims to empower Arizona Tribes by providing funding and mentorship to initiate their own community-based research projects. The Inter Tribal Council of Arizona will support up to ten Tribes in developing, implementing, and evaluating research tailored to their specific community needs. The initiative includes technical assistance from experienced American Indian researchers at the University of Arizona, ensuring that the projects are feasible and aligned with community resources. Additionally, selected projects may receive help in applying for national funding opportunities.
