Broad Eligibility
Eligible applicants are federally recognized Native American Tribal governments and qualifying consortia of two or more federally recognized Tribes. Tribal designees are eligible only for specified Purpose Area 6 activities under the controlling solicitation. No match is required.
Atlas Analysis
High but purpose-area-specific justice-health fit. CTAS expressly supports mental-health and substance-use treatment, adult Tribal treatment courts, screening and assessment, corrections/reentry pathways, and youth behavioral-health services. Purpose Area 6 expressly permits contracted telemedicine/telehealth access and certain medical equipment. N9+ is strongest where the Tribal project legitimately needs guided remote physical examinations, vitals and telehealth-enabled clinical encounters; it should not be forced into policing, construction or other nonclinical purpose areas. Dr. Miltie is not a direct eligible applicant, so any pursuit must be Tribal-led.
The U.S. Department of Justice is accepting applications for the FY 2026 Coordinated Tribal Assistance Solicitation (CTAS), Opportunity O-BJA-2026-172662. CTAS consolidates multiple DOJ Tribal public-safety and justice funding purpose areas, including Tribal justice systems, adult Tribal treatment courts, child-victim services, youth healing-to-wellness courts, and Tribal youth justice.
For Atlas, the strongest healthcare-related pathways are purpose-area specific. Purpose Area 3 can support mental-health and substance-use treatment, medications for opioid use disorder, recovery, corrections, reentry and aftercare. Purpose Area 5 supports adult Tribal treatment courts with substance-use treatment, mental-health services, screening and assessment. Purpose Area 6 expressly allows certain equipment and technology, including medical equipment for pediatric SANE services and contracted telemedicine or telehealth access. N9+ should therefore be positioned only where a Tribal applicant’s approved purpose-area project legitimately requires remote physical examination, guided exams, vitals or telehealth-enabled clinical encounters.
Eligible lead applicants are federally recognized Tribal governments and qualifying consortia of federally recognized Tribes, with limited Tribal-designee eligibility for specified Purpose Area 6 activities. No match is required. Dr. Miltie is not a direct eligible applicant and should participate only through a legitimate Tribal-led technology, clinical-services or healthcare-partnership role.
From Funding to Implementation · Remote Monitoring Solution
Connect grant funding to a broader remote-care strategy.
Dr. Miltie combines connected monitoring and virtual examination capabilities so funded programs can support longitudinal care while giving clinicians more context when a remote encounter requires assessment beyond a video visit.
