The U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Office of Minority Health (OMH) is seeking nominations for candidates to serve as primary and alternate delegates on the Center for Indigenous Innovation and Health Equity Tribal Advisory Committee (CIIHE TAC). This committee aims to address health disparities among American Indian, Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian, and Pacific Islander populations. To apply, tribal leaders must nominate candidates by January 17, 2024, although nominations will remain open until all positions are filled. The committee will consist of 16 delegates, and nominees must be either elected Tribal officials or designated representatives with authority to act on behalf of their Tribe.
Simple Explanation
The U.S. government wants to make a group that will help Native American peoples be healthier, and they're asking important tribal leaders to choose people who will work in this group. They need to choose the people by January 2024, but if they don't fill all the spots, they can keep choosing until they do.
