The Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) was awarded a $207,542 Project Grant by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under the CFDA 66.034 - Surveys, Studies, Research, Investigations, Demonstrations, and Special Purpose Activities Relating to the Clean Air Act. The funding will support ANTHC's efforts to expand and enhance their air quality monitoring activities in tribal communities across Alaska. Key objectives include providing technical assistance for air quality sensor data collection, developing education and outreach resources on using air quality data, assisting with air quality data analysis and interpretation, and installing new ambient air quality sensors in approximately 12 communities. The anticipated outcomes include improved tribal capacity for air quality monitoring and data utilization, the establishment of a public database for Alaska air quality data, and increased knowledge and response capabilities for addressing air quality issues within Alaska's tribal health system.
