Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) GrantsNative American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) Background
12/22/2008: NARCH
VI The Indian Health Service (IHS) and the National Institute of General Medical Sciences (NIGMS) of the National Institutes of Health have a joint partnership supporting the Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH). The NARCH initiative, currently in its seventh year, supports partnerships between AI/AN Tribes or Tribally-based organizations and institutions that conduct intensive academic-level biomedical, behavioral and health services research. This funding mechanism develops opportunities for conducting research, research training and faculty development to meet the needs of American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) communities. As a developmental process, Tribes and Tribal Organizations are able to build a research infrastructure, including a core component for capacity building and the possibility of reducing the many health disparities so prevalent in AI/AN communities. Each NARCH applicant’s grant undergoes the rigorous peer review process established by the NIH Center for Scientific Review (CSR); NIH/CSR priority scores determine those research projects with the best science, as well as the best designs and strategies to meet the objectives of the NARCH program. Specifically, the purposes of the NARCH initiative are:
Additional benefits include:
The grant for these activities goes from IHS to the Tribal partner, which then subcontracts with the research intensive institution(s). This keeps the community in charge of the research, but draws on the university for all the expertise that may be necessary to accomplish the scientific and training goals of the NARCH. There is no research line in the IHS budget. The IHS therefore depends on the research agencies (such as NIH and AHRQ) for all of the funding for NARCH. NIGMS funds the bulk of the research training and the core activities of each NARCH. The NARCH program then looks to the other institutes and centers to fund research projects that fall into their scientific areas. For more information regarding the need for Tribal/Partner-sponsored research infrastructure and future funding opportunities, please contact Dr. Alan Trachtenberg, NARCH Project Officer at 301-443-0578.
