In August 2024, CDC launched Year 2 of the 5-year cooperative agreement—CDC-RFA-TO-23-0001: Strengthening Public Health Systems and Services in Indian Country. Its purpose is to strengthen the infrastructure of tribal public health systems. The emphasis is on workforce, data and information systems, and programs and services. Seven Directions is excited to provide free technical assistance (TA) to 23-0001 recipients to collaboratively support their public heath efforts.
Technical Assistance (TA) refers to a wide range of supports that outside professionals can provide to program staff to support program implementation. This includes resources and ideas to help staff work through challenges, plan and implement programs, and create new tools for their community. TA is not limited to support, such as computer or IT issues.
