The Great Plains Tribal Chairmen’s Health Board’s Community Health Department is pleased to announce a funding opportunity through it’s Great Plains Good Health and Wellness (GPGHW) program.  This funding opportunity will be used to increase the number of tribes within the Great Plains area who implement evidence-informed and culturally-adapted policy, system and environmental (PSE) change or community-clinical linkages to; prevent and control commercial tobacco use, support type 2 diabetes prevention and support heart disease and stroke prevention.

This funding opportunity can support projects that facilitate one or more of the following strategies:
