        The NW NARCH program is operated by the EpiCenter at the Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB), an Indian organization uniquely qualified to administer NW NARCH based on active membership of all 43 Northwest Indian tribes in Idaho, Oregon, and Washington. NW NARCH offers AI/AN researchers access to the extensive health research training opportunities of two premier academic health research institutes of the Northwest—Oregon Health Science University (OHSU) and Portland State University (PSU).

        Northwest Tribes recognize that healthy Native mothers and children are at the heart of healthy Native communities. Healthy Native moms and babies need a continuum of support that extends across families, communities, health care and social services systems. The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) works to support tribal Maternal and Child Health (MCH) initiatives through community-based research projects, data, technical assistance, and coordination of resources.

- Tribal Community Health Provider Project
  - - - Tribal Community Health Provider Project
        
        The TCHP Project supports tribal innovation and leadership by facilitating projects that allow our communities to thrive in the way our ancestors intended. Our projects promote tribal self-governance and tribal sovereignty by removing barriers and nurturing the voice of the next generation of AI/AN leadership. Our project is expanding the tribal community health provider programs in the Portland Area by designing and implementing TCHP education programs for CHA/P, BHA/P, and DHA/T, championing initiatives to expand health care workforce, amplifying tribal leadership in health care, supporting tribal traditional practices, and establishing infrastructure to support TCHP programs like an Area CHAP Certification Board, and the Oregon DHAT pilot project.

- Past Projects
  - - - Native Voices
        
        Our goal was to adapt a video-based HIV/STI intervention for AI/AN teens and young adults (15-24 years old), and evaluate its impact among Native youth living in urban and rural communities. Native VOICES is currently the only intervention purposefully designed for AI/AN youth included in the CDC’s compendium of effective HIV interventions. The study was funded by the IHS Native American Research Centers for Health (NARCH).
  - - - Native It’s Your Game
        
        Our goal was to design an evidence-based sexual health curriculum that reflects and includes the experiences of Native youth and the communities they come from. One that weaves the diverse faces, voices, experiences, and cultural values that can be shared with not only tribal communities, but with other multicultural communities across the US. We have taken a community approach, to solve a community problem.
