Targeting a geographic scope that includes federally recognized Tribes across various states, this opportunity prioritizes the development of programs that can demonstrate measurable outcomes within a three-year performance period. Eligible applicants can include Indian Tribes and Tribal Organizations as defined by the Indian Self-Determination and Education Assistance Act.
