Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium

Alaska Native Tribal Health Consortium (ANTHC) is a non-profit tribal health organization registered in SAM.gov since July 2004 that serves approximately 189,000 Alaska Native people and all 229 federally recognized tribes in the Alaska Indian Health Service area. As an Alaskan Native Corporation-owned firm and tribal government entity, ANTHC provides comprehensive healthcare services, infrastructure development, community support, and technical assistance across multiple service domains. The organization has established itself as a robust recipient of federal contract and grant awards, leveraging its expertise and partnerships to deliver targeted programs addressing health disparities, environmental health, climate resilience, and critical infrastructure needs in Alaska Native communities.

Through federal contract awards, ANTHC has demonstrated capacity to manage both operational and technical healthcare initiatives. The organization has received firm fixed-price purchase order contracts from the Indian Health Service valued at $2,328,505 for the Special Diabetes Program for Indians Technical Assistance Alaska Area, with a completion date of October 18, 2026. ANTHC has also been awarded contracts through Veterans Integrated Service Network 20 totaling $84,000 for professional membership dues spanning multiple years. These contracts, awarded without set-aside designations, reflect ANTHC's ability to deliver specialized healthcare programming and administrative services. Additionally, ANTHC serves as a subcontractor under the University of New Mexico on the Alaska Native Tumor Registry, conducting population-based cancer surveillance for American Indian and Alaska Native residents in compliance with SEER Program standards, with responsibilities including data collection, dissemination through peer-reviewed publications and professional presentations, and maintenance of secure IT infrastructure for confidential health information.

ANTHC's federal grant portfolio is extensive and multifaceted, encompassing healthcare, infrastructure, environmental, and climate-focused initiatives from numerous federal agencies. The organization has received substantial grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Rural Utilities Service for water and waste disposal systems across rural Alaskan villages, including multiple awards totaling over $12 million for domestic water, waste disposal, combination water and waste projects, and technical assistance and training programs. The Environmental Protection Agency has awarded ANTHC significant funding for environmental and climate justice initiatives, including a $19.8 million grant for community-scale photovoltaic solar arrays and battery storage systems with workforce development, a $19.8 million grant for wind turbine installation in Kotzebue, a $24.2 million Cooperative Agreement for climate pollution reduction implementation, and a $74.9 million Cooperative Agreement for climate adaptation technical assistance serving nearly 100 Alaska Native communities. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has awarded ANTHC a $684,000 Cooperative Agreement for colorectal cancer screening expansion and a $2.7 million Cooperative Agreement under the Tribal Epidemiology Centers Public Health Infrastructure program. The Department of Interior's Bureau of Indian Affairs provided a $4 million grant for tribal climate resilience, while the Denali Commission funded numerous projects including a $100 million statewide bulk fuel project management award and multiple infrastructure initiatives for heat recovery and biomass systems. Additional grants from the U.S. Department of Agriculture Food and Nutrition Service support the Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations, and the Department of Health and Human Services funds initiatives in maternal health, oral health, behavioral health, and cancer research through partnerships with academic institutions including Fred Hutchinson Cancer Center, Mayo Clinic, and Johns Hopkins University. ANTHC also manages sub-grant awards from the State of Alaska Department of Health for public health emergency preparedness and HIV/AIDS prevention, and from the Alaska Department of Military and Veteran's Affairs for disaster recovery projects, demonstrating the organization's role as both a direct federal grantee and an administrator of subawards to tribal and community partners.
