CDC’s Office of Tribal Affairs and Strategic Alliances

The National Center for State, Tribal, Local, and Territorial Public Health Infrastructure and Workforce (Public Health Infrastructure Center) is CDC’s principal point of contact for American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) tribal nations and tribal serving organizations. The Public Health Infrastructure Center Office of Tribal Affairs and Strategic Alliances (OTASA) connects tribal nations and tribal-serving organizations to CDC and ATSDR programs, and provides funding for building and improving cross-cutting tribal public health infrastructure.
