# ANTHC NARCH X

> **NIH NIH S06** · ALASKA NATIVE TRIBAL HEALTH CONSORTIUM · 2021 · $825,216

## Abstract

Project Summary/Abstract:
The goal of the overall ANTHC NARCH X program is to increase the capacity of Alaska Native
people and tribal health organizations to conduct research in pursuit of ANTHC's vision that
Alaska Native people are the healthiest people in the world. The specific aims for the overall
NARCH are to: 1) improve the capacity of Alaska Native people and non-Native researchers
working with Alaska Native people to conduct high-quality research that is driven by community
priorities; 2) conduct scientific research based in the Alaska Tribal Health System that is
focused on improving the health of Alaska Native people and reducing health disparities; and 3)
expand on existing ANTHC partnerships with universities in a bi-directional manner. The
ANTHC NARCH X program consists of multiple components. These include an Administrative
Core (designed to ensure the success of the overall NARCH), a Capacity Building Project (to
develop an Alaska-based research training program focused on areas of identified need) and
three research projects. The research projects each focus on areas where health disparities
exist for Alaska Native populations, including 1) diet and the risk of chronic disease such as
diabetes or cardiovascular disease; 2) impact of low vitamin D levels and prenatal vitamin D
supplementation on early childhood caries; and 3) culturally relevant treatments for alcohol use
disorders. The overall ANTHC NARCH X program will continue to improve research capacity in
Alaska and address several key health disparities, ultimately leading to improved health of the
Alaska Native population.
