Description
This opportunity will fund a National Center for Native Training and Technical Assistance to serve as the primary provider of training and technical assistance (TTA) for the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). The Center's mission is to strengthen the capacity of ANA applicants and grantees—spanning tribes, Native American communities, and their partners—to plan, develop, implement, and sustain community-driven projects. These projects should align with ANA’s goals of supporting Native American self-sufficiency, economic development, and cultural preservation.
The Center will deliver innovative, accessible TTA (virtually and in-person), help communities leverage additional resources, ensure compliance with federal requirements, and collect data to measure and improve TTA outcomes and project success. The project period is 36 months, structured as three 12-month budget periods.
