Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) Planning Grants (R34 - Clinical Trial Not Allowed)

The Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH) Planning Grants program supports federally recognized American Indian/Alaska Native (AI/AN) Tribes, Tribal colleges and universities, Tribal health programs, or Tribal organizations to plan and conduct preparatory work for developing competitive NARCH applications. This R34 planning grant mechanism is designed to help eligible AI/AN Tribal entities strengthen their research capacity and prepare for future health research center applications. The program aims to build research infrastructure and capacity within Tribal communities to address health disparities and improve health outcomes for Native American populations.
