View Award Description

Northwest Regional Research Center - The Northwest Portland Area Indian Health Board (NPAIHB) is proposing a partnership of Northwest Tribes and Tribal organizations to develop a Northwest Regional Research Center (NWRRC) to enhance Tribal data science and ensure Tribal data sovereignty. In 2023, there were 365 opioid overdose deaths among AI/AN in the Northwest region. From 2019-2023, the rate of opioid overdose mortality in the Northwest region among AI/AN was 40.7 per 100,000. The rate of opioid overdose mortality among AI/AN people in the Northwest region has sharply increased from 2019 to 2023. In 2019, the rate was 14.6 per 100,000, and in 2023 this rate was 65.0 per 100,000. The AI/AN opioid overdose death rate was 17 times higher in 2023 than in 2000. Northwest Tribes will benefit from a coordinated research center. The proposed NWRRC will serve as a multidisciplinary hub to advance population health through innovative, data-driven, and community-engaged research. Substance used disorder faces mounting challenges that require coordinated, science-driven solutions. To address these problems, the NWRRC will foster collaboration across disciplines, strengthen available data, and strengthen the Tribal work forces’ ability to conduct research. The proposed NWRRC aims to foster rigorous data-driven science that improves health in Tribal Communities. The NWRRC will fully implement all aspects of our research center. The NWRRC aligns closely with the NIH mission to improve health and reduce illness through research that has meaningful, real-world impact. This project is responsive to the Native Collective Research Effort to Enhance Wellness (N CREW) goal of conducting community-led strategies while improving data and increasing Tribes’ research capacity. The NPAIHB will continue to build and sustain a robust Tribal research infrastructure. The NPAIHB’s Northwest Tribal Epidemiology Center (NWTEC) will develop an internal research project, including a linkage corrected database of opioid overdoses and mortality in the Pacific Northwest and mapping of types of treatment centers and density in the three-state region. We will conduct a study to evaluate community readiness to change, including promotors of change and barriers of change in one Tribal nation. Through the N CREW award, NPAIHB will provide targeted training, technical assistance, and support to Northwest Tribes and their researchers. The overall goal is to build infrastructure for research, research training, and conduct two research projects.
