I H S Research Conferences
Annual National Research ConferenceRegistration is now open for the 20th Annual Native Health Research Conference20th Annual Native Health Research Conference, August 25 - 28, 2008 in Portland ORExploring the Interface between Science and Tradition in Native Health Research Red Lion on the River CALL FOR ABSTRACTS
The 20th Annual Native Health
Research Conference (co-sponsored this year by the Indian Health Service, the
Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board, and the Native Research Network,
Inc.) will bring together many different stakeholders involved in the conception,
production, translation, and use of health research in American Indian/Alaska
Native/Native Hawaiian (AI/AN/NH) communities from across the continent. Conference
participants will include health care providers, administrators, educators, policy-makers,
and tribal leaders, as well as researchers. It is anticipated that the conference
will enhance our collective ability to advance biomedical, psychosocial, and
health services research for the benefit of Native communities, as well as to
showcase recent health research projects and efforts undertaken in Indian Country.
There is opportunity in the conference program for pre-coordinated panel presentations,
oral presentations, and poster presentations concerning AI/AN/NH research projects.
We are especially interested in proposals that will address this year’s conference theme
on the Interface of Science and Tradition, as well as presenters who might address
Community-Based Participatory Research from the community’s perspective
and Native Hawaiian Health Issues. Beyond this, proposals regarding any area
of AI/AN/NH health research will receive full consideration. Abstracts must be
received by 19th Annual Indian Health Research Conference, June 4 - 7, 2007 in Phoenix, AZ
18th Annual Research conference, 2006 in Albuquerque, NM
17th Annual Research Conference, 2005 in Seattle
Annual Fall Conference for NARCH Investigators and Project DirectorsThe annual fall meetings for NARCH Investigators and Project Directors are timed to coincide with the NIH celebration of Native Heritage Month each November. There is generally a plenary lecture and poster session on the NIH campus and a day of technical assistance and NARCH-group discussions at or near IHS Headquarters. The purpose of these meetings is to cross-fertilize between program staff at the various NIH Institutes and the NARCH investigators. The meeting provides a showcase for results from the NARCH Projects, as well as an opportunity for NARCH investigators to learn more about the programs at specific NIH Institutes. There are several invited speakers and space for 20-30 posters from NARCH projects. Poster presentations are selected by program staff of IHS and NIGMS who review the submitted abstracts. 2007 MeetingThis year’s NARCH/NIH Fall Science Meeting has been scheduled for November 7-8. Both days will find us at the Natcher Conference Center on the NIH campus. We will begin on Wednesday, 11/7, at about 11:00 AM. The featured speaker that day will be Dr. R. Dale Walker, Director of the One Sky National Resource Center for AI/AN Substance Abuse Services. We will also have two NARCH speakers for about 10 minutes each and the usual NARCH poster session that follows. Thursday afternoon is kind of a “NARCH open house” for NIH program staff, held in conjunction with the NIH Native Heritage Week celebration. On Thursday, 11/8, we will hold the day-long meeting for NARCH Investigators, Project Directors, and other NARCH participants. We will have an opportunity to interact with one another as well as hear presentations from NIH program staff and leadership. We already have confirmations from Dr. Richard Nakamura, Deputy Director, NIMH and Dr. Howard Moss, NIAAA Associate Director for Clinical and Translational Research. We expect more to follow. This year we will also try to allow more time for discussion and interaction between folks from the various NARCH centers.

Summer Research Training Institute for American Indian and Alaska Native Health Professionals
Announcement For Indigenous Graduate Institute Scholarship Opportunity“SOCIAL DETERMINANTS OF HEALTH IN INDIGENOUS POPULATIONS” JULY 23-27 at JOHNS HOPKINS BLOOMBERG SCHOOL OF PUBLIC HEALTH IN BALTIMORE, MARYLAND Deadline for Application: April 12, 2007 (Details below) The Indian Health Service, Health Canada, University of Alberta School of Public Health and Johns Hopkins Center for American Indian Health are offering a week-long institute course on Indigenous social determinants of health that is being designed as the launch of an indigenous health training program. A total of thirty-five scholars from Indigenous communities from the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand will be selected and provided FULL SCHOLARSHIP for tuition, room and board to participate in this Institute. Course offering and tuition costs:
Indigenous populations shoulder the largest burden of health disparities of any racial or ethnic group in the world. These disparities are largely the result of historical, social and behavioral determinants that can be effectively addressed through evidence-based and culturally competent public health interventions. Such interventions are best developed from within Indigenous communities themselves. However, there is a paucity of Indigenous professionals trained in public health sciences and interventions research. This institute course aims at using a social determinants framework to build public health skills among Indigenous peoples to address health inequalities in Indigenous communities. Class format will include lectures from international experts in social determinants of health and with direct experience in indigenous communities. Lectures will be followed by guided class discussions and activities to explore social determinants that are most relevant to select Indigenous communities. Each class participant will formulate a work plan for social determinant research in their chosen Indigenous community. Course details:
