Broad Eligibility

Eligible entities are Tribal Nations and nonprofit entities providing clinical health services to American Indian people who reside off reservations, with preference for Tribal Nations and nonprofits created for and specifically focused on serving American Indians. Eligible clinical services may be stationary or mobile outpatient or ambulatory preventive, medical, dental or mental-health services and may include cultural or traditional healing practices; programs may not be solely urgent or emergent care.

Atlas Analysis

A highly targeted but flexible direct-service opportunity because it supports culturally informed outpatient and ambulatory care across preventive medicine, dental health and mental health, including mobile delivery. The program is especially valuable for Tribal and Indian-focused nonprofit providers serving people living off reservation and can fund one or several clinical service lines without requiring a full comprehensive-care model.
