    • Data on Health and Well-being of American Indians, Alaska Natives, and Other Native Americans Data Catalog. This data catalog is a compilation of existing data sources pertaining to American Indian/Alaska Native/Native American (AI/AN/NA) populations. The Catalog includes sources of socioeconomic and health data using national and some state-level surveys. Information on 68 data sources including their characteristics and limitations is included in the catalog. This data catalog is a valuable reference for researchers, analysts and policymakers interested in AI/AN/NA issues. It can be found at: http://aspe.hhs.gov/hsp/06/Catalog-AI-AN-NA.
    • Gaps and Strategies for Improving AI/AN/NA Data - Final Report This report identifies gaps in AI/AN/NA data on health and well-being, strategies for improving AI/AN/NA data availability and quality, and some current initiatives underway within HHS and other federal agencies that are intended to improve these data. It is located at: http://aspe.hhs.gov/hsp/07/AI-AN-NA-data-gaps
  • Advancing the Nation's Health: A Guide to Public Health Research Needs, 2006-2015 (Research Guide) is now available to CDC staff and partners
    • The Research Guide provides a comprehensive, long-range vision of national and global public health needs that CDC and its partners can address through research.
