Application Materials are on online at this website. The deadline is February 28, 2009.

The Native Telehealth Outreach and Technical Assistance Program (NTOTAP) is a 12- to 18-month program designed to impart technological skills to Native community members. Community members gain these skills while developing multimedia projects to address health issues in their communities.

Native community members with an interest in technology and local health issues are encouraged to apply. Applicants accepted into the program are referred to as Community Health Advocates (or advocates for short). Advocates receive training in research skills, project development, and technology related to their projects (for example, use of video cameras, video editing software, Web site development, etc.).

Advocates share their draft projects with community members for evaluation and feedback. They then finalize their projects based on the feedback and disseminate them to their communities.

Advocates can check out electronic equipment (such as laptop computers, video cameras, and digital voice recorders) for the duration of the program. Travel is paid for, and advocates receive a small stipend while participating in the program.
