In an effort to honor individuals, Tribes, organizations, and programs that have enriched and improved American Indian and Alaska Native public health, the National Indian Health Board (NIHB) invites nominations for the Native Public Health Innovation Award. NIHB created this award to recognize excellence, achievement, and innovations that are above and beyond the call of service. NIHB recognizes that public health is a traditional Native value, and that Tribes have led the way in creating and implementing public health programming and services that align not only with contemporary needs, but with cultural beliefs as well. This award will highlight the work and vision of a Tribe, individual, organization or program that has worked to improve health status, implement new programming, address long standing health disparities, and/or increase the visibility of public health concerns.
NIHB will present the award at the 9th Annual Tribal Public Health Summit in Prior Lake, Minnesota during a plenary session. All nominations should be received by 11:59 p.m. ET on Tuesday, February 20, 2018. The winner will be notified within three weeks upon close of the nominations.
Deadline: Tuesday, February 20, 2018 by 11:59 pm ET

NIH Summer Internship Program in Biomedical Research
The Summer Internship Program (SIP) in biomedical research provide the opportunity for students in various stages of their academic studies to work in research groups across the National Institutes of Health (NIH) institutes and centers, to work side by side with leading scientists, and to gain training in science, careers, and personal development. In addition to working in a research group on the NIH campus, students in the programs participate in a comprehensive curriculum designed to help them develop the intra-personal skills and resilience needed to succeed in academic and research environments.
In addition to the general SIP, the NIH Office of Intramural Training and Education has partnered with the NIH Tribal Health Research Office (THRO) to sponsor programs that provide students with a unique SIP experience. In 2018 the THRO will sponsor additional activities for participants to learn about Native Health and to network with the broader NIH community. Students interested in this opportunity should apply in the same portal as the general NIH SIP, but select the appropriate sub-program from the drop down menu.
Application period now open! Deadline to apply: Thursday, March 1, 2018

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), Center for Substance Abuse Treatment (CSAT) is accepting applications for fiscal year (FY) 2018 Screening, Brief Intervention and Referral to Treatment (SBIRT) grants. The purpose of this program is to implement screening, brief intervention and referral to treatment services for adolescents and adults in primary care and community health settings (e.g., health centers, hospital systems, etc.) for substance misuse and substance use disorders (SUD). This program is designed to expand/enhance the state and tribal continuum of care for SUD services and reduce alcohol and other drug (AOD) consumption and its negative health impact, increase abstinence, reduce costly health care utilization, and promote sustainability and the integration of behavioral health and primary care services through policy changes that increase treatment access in generalist and specialist practice.
The populations of focus are adults and adolescents seeking medical attention and intervention services in primary care and other community health settings (e.g., private non-profit health care or behavioral health care systems such as health maintenance organizations (HMOs), preferred-provider organizations (PPOs), Federally Qualified Health Care systems, hospital systems, and community health or behavioral health centers). These grants support clinically appropriate services for persons at risk (asymptomatic) for SUD, as well as those diagnosed with SUD.
Tribes, Tribal organizations, urban Indian organizations, and consortia are eligible to apply.
Funds are available for up to eight (8) awardees to complete projects of up to five years with up to $995,000 available per year.
Deadline to apply: Wednesday, February 21, 2018
