The Center for Indigenous Health Research and Policy (CIHRP) at OSU Center for Health Sciences was awarded a five-year, $10 million grant to expand and grow health and nutrition initiatives in Native communities across the country by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services’ Office of Minority Health. The initial grant awarded by the Office of Minority Health was for $2 million over two years to develop the Center for Indigenous Innovation and Health Equity (CIIHE) and included four Native tribes and organizations — the Choctaw Nation and the Osage Nation in Oklahoma and the Southcentral Foundation in Anchorage, Alaska and the University of Alaska’s Center for Alaska Native Health Research.
The award from the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services Office of Minority Health supports UH’s Center for Indigenous Innovation and Health Equity.
The initiative places an emphasis on implementing innovative and culturally appropriate frameworks to prevent and improve disparities in chronic diseases.
