National Center for Native Training and Technical Assistance (the Center)

The Administration for Native Americans (ANA), under the Department of Health and Human Services, is seeking to award a contract for a National Center for Native Training and Technical Assistance to serve as its primary source of training and technical support for Native American communities. The Center will provide comprehensive assistance to tribes, Alaska Native organizations, Native Hawaiian groups, and other Native Pacific Islander entities to design, implement, and sustain community-driven projects aligned with ANA’s mission. This support will include guidance on leveraging additional funding, meeting federal compliance standards, and ensuring long-term project success beyond the lifespan of ANA grants. The Center is expected to deliver services through innovative, accessible, and culturally responsive methods in both virtual and in-person formats to reach diverse populations across the country. The contract has a 36-month duration, divided into three 12-month budget periods, and requires the Center to collect and analyze data on how beneficiaries engage with training and technical assistance to continuously improve program effectiveness. The initiative aims to strengthen the capacity of Native communities to achieve sustainable outcomes, enhance self-determination, and build resilience through targeted support.
