Anthc TRP

The Department of the Interior, Bureau of Indian Affairs, awarded Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) a $4.0 million Project Grant under the Tribal Climate Resilience program (CFDA 15.156) on September 11, 2025, with a completion date of September 30, 2027. While specific deliverables are not detailed in the award documentation, the Tribal Climate Resilience program funds four broad categories of activity: design and delivery of technical training, forums, and workshops to build tribal staff capacity for climate adaptation; climate adaptation planning, vulnerability assessments, and climate-change monitoring; travel support for participation in technical sessions and regional ocean and coastal planning; and technical assistance to tribes for climate adaptation management. As a non-profit tribal health organization serving approximately 189,000 Alaska Native people and all 229 federally recognized tribes in the Alaska Indian Service area, ANTHC likely leverages this funding to support one or more of these categories in advancing climate resilience across Alaska Native communities.

Given ANTHC's extensive federal grant portfolio that includes $74.9 million in Environmental Protection Agency funding for climate adaptation technical assistance serving nearly 100 Alaska Native communities and $4.0 million in Department of Interior Bureau of Indian Affairs funding for tribal climate resilience, the organization demonstrates substantial capacity to deliver climate adaptation initiatives. The Tribal Climate Resilience program operates on a non-recurring, year-to-year appropriations basis and awards are made based on application prioritization and available funds through the Bureau's Central Office.
