(VOICE/FAX): (907) 729-8891 EMAIL ADDRESS: VMILLER@SOUTHCENTRALFOUNDATION.COM WEB SITE ADDRESS: HTTP://WWW.SOUTHCENTRALFOUNDATION.COM/ AMOUNT OF REQUEST: $1,878,744 SOUTHCENTRAL FOUNDATION (SCF) WAS ESTABLISHED IN 1982 AS A 501(C)3 NONPROFIT HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION OPERATING UNDER THE TRIBAL AUTHORITY OF COOK INLET REGION, INC. SCF’S PURPOSE IS TO IMPROVE THE HEALTH AND WELL-BEING OF ALASKA NATIVE AND AMERICAN INDIAN PEOPLE BY DEVELOPING AND IMPLEMENTING COMPREHENSIVE HEALTH RELATED SERVICES THAT MEET CHANGING NEEDS, ENHANCE CULTURE, AND EMPOWER INDIVIDUALS AND FAMILIES TO TAKE CHARGE OF THEIR LIVES. A FULL ARRAY MEDICAL AND BEHAVIORAL HEALTH SERVICES ARE PROVIDED TO APPROXIMATELY 65,000 ALASKA NATIVES AND AMERICAN INDIAN PEOPLE LIVING IN THE MUNICIPALITY OF ANCHORAGE, THE MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH, AND THE SURROUNDING VILLAGES AND RESIDENTS OF 60 RURAL VILLAGES IN SOUTH CENTRAL ALASKA. SCF’S SERVICE AREA EXTENDS 107,400 SQUARE MILES – FROM THE ALEUTIAN CHAIN AND PRIBILOF ISLANDS ON THE WEST COAST ALL THE WAY EAST TO THE CANADIAN BORDER. SCF’S MISSION IS WORKING TOGETHER WITH THE NATIVE COMMUNITY TO ACHIEVE WELLNESS THROUGH HEALTH AND RELATED SERVICES; ITS VISION IS A NATIVE COMMUNITY THAT ENJOYS PHYSICAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL, AND SPIRITUAL WELLNESS. THIS REQUEST IS FOR $1,878,744 THAT ADDRESSES DIABETES WHICH IS A DIFFICULT CONDITION TO TREAT BECAUSE IT IS CLOSELY TIED TO A PERSON’S LIFESTYLE AND OFTEN REQUIRES THE INDIVIDUAL TO MAKE SIGNIFICANT CHANGES IN THEIR AND THEIR FAMILY’S DAILY LIVES. EDUCATION, MANAGEMENT, AND TREATMENT REQUIRE TEAMWORK BETWEEN THE CUSTOMER-OWNERS AND THEIR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS, CASE MANAGERS, EDUCATORS, DIETITIANS, AND PHARMACISTS. ENSURING CLOSE COORDINATION AND COMMUNICATION AMONG ALL THESE INDIVIDUALS CAN BE CHALLENGING, EVEN IN THE COORDINATED CARE MODEL OF SCF. SCF’S PROGRAM WILL WORK WITH ITS PRIMARY CARE CLINICS TO ADDRESS THESE ISSUES: IMPROVEMENT OF SDPI ELEMENTS O NUTRITIONAL EDUCATION BY REGISTERED DIETICIANS (RDS) WILL BE IMPROVED BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW RD FOR THE VALLEY NATIVE PRIMARY CARE CENTER. O IMPROVE OTHER DIABETES EDUCATION BY INCREASING THE STREAMLINE REFERRALS FROM PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND RDS TO OTHER BEHAVIORAL LIFESTYLE CHANGE PROGRAMS THAT ARE OFFERED BY HEALTH EDUCATORS, CLINICAL EXERCISE PHYSIOLOGISTS, AND CERTIFIED DIABETES EDUCATORS. O IMPROVE A1C 7.0-7.9 RATES BY HAVING CUSTOMERS TRACK OUTCOMES FOR THEIR OVERALL HEALTH AND ENHANCE PROGRAMS THAT ARE SERVED UNDER AS OTHER DIABETES EDUCATION. APRIL KYLE, PRESIDENT/CEO OF SOUTHCENTRAL FOUNDATION, FULLY SUPPORTS THE EFFORTS OF THE SDPI PROGRAM AND ITS IMPLEMENTATION AT SCF.

SCF TOR FOUR DIRECTIONS - PROJECT ABSTRACT: PROJECT TITLE: SCF TOR FOUR DIRECTIONS APPLICANT NAME: SOUTHCENTRAL FOUNDATION ADDRESS: 4501 DIPLOMACY DRIVE, ANCHORAGE, AK 99508 WEBSITE: HTTPS://WWW.SOUTHCENTRALFOUNDATION.COM/ ORGANIZATIONAL OVERVIEW: SOUTHCENTRAL FOUNDATION (SCF) IS AN ALASKA NATIVE 501(C) (3) NONPROFIT HEALTH CARE ORGANIZATION ESTABLISHED UNDER THE TRIBAL AUTHORITY OF COOK INLET REGION, INC. IN 1982. SCF'S VISION IS "A NATIVE COMMUNITY THAT ENJOYS PHYSICAL, MENTAL, EMOTIONAL AND SPIRITUAL WELLNESS." TO REACH THIS VISION, SCF IS COMMITTED TO ADDRESSING THE DEVASTATING IMPACT OF OPIOID USE DISORDER AND OTHER SUBSTANCE ABUSE IN OUR COMMUNITIES. PROJECT NEED: ALASKA HAS SEEN A 71% INCREASE IN OVERDOSE DEATHS BASED ON PRELIMINARY 2021 DATA, WITH 75% OF ALL THE OPIOID OVERDOSE DEATHS INVOLVING FENTANYL. A LARGER INCREASE IN OVERDOSE DEATHS OF 200% WAS SEEN IN YOUNG WORKING ADULTS AGED 25 TO 34. THIS SHARP RISE PROMPTED A RECENT OFFICIAL WARNING FROM THE ALASKA GOVERNOR ON THE DANGERS OF FENTANYL IN COUNTERFEIT PILLS, PARTICULARLY PREVALENT IN THE MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH (MSB), WHERE LAW ENFORCEMENT HAS MADE RECENT BUSTS OF OPIOIDS AND FENTANYL – THE LARGEST IN THE STATE HISTORY. UNDER THESE CRISIS CONDITIONS, THERE ARE FEW SERVICE PROVIDERS LIKE SCF THAT CAN ADDRESS THE FULL CONTINUUM OF CARE, WITH CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE SERVICES, SUD, AND MOUD TREATMENT IN THE MSB. POPULATION OF FOCUS: THE POPULATION OF FOCUS FOR THE PROPOSED PROJECT IS ADULT RESIDENTS OF THE MSB, INCLUDING ALASKA NATIVE AND AMERICAN INDIAN ADULTS WHO ARE EXPERIENCING OPIOID USE DISORDER AND OTHER SUBSTANCE ABUSE. PROPOSED PROJECT: THE GOAL OF THE SCF TOR FOUR DIRECTIONS PROPOSAL IS TO REDUCE UNMET TREATMENT NEEDS AND OPIOID OVERDOSE-RELATED DEATHS IN ALASKA’S MATANUSKA-SUSITNA BOROUGH (MSB) THROUGH THE PROVISION OF PREVENTION, TREATMENT AND/OR RECOVERY ACTIVITIES FOR OPIOID USE DISORDER AND SUBSTANCE USE DISORDER BY INCREASING ACCESS TO CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE AND EVIDENCE-BASED TREATMENT, INCLUDING MEDICATION-ASSISTED TREATMENT AND MOUD. THIS GOAL WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED BY EXPANDING THE SCF TREATMENT MODEL (PATH TO HEALTHY LIVING PLAN) WHICH IS BASED UPON EVIDENCE-BASED THERAPIES AND TREATMENTS, IN OUR NEW BENTEH NUUTAH FOUR DIRECTIONS OUTPATIENT SERVICES CLINIC IN THE MSB. THROUGHOUT THE TWO YEAR PROJECT PERIOD, THE FOLLOWING OBJECTIVES WILL BE ACCOMPLISHED: 1) PROVIDE A CONTINUUM OF SERVICES IN THE MSB THAT IS AGE-AND GENDER-APPROPRIATE, PATIENT-CENTERED, COMMUNITY FOCUSED, AND CULTURALLY COMPETENT, TO A MINIMUM OF 100 UNDUPLICATED ADULT INDIVIDUALS IN YEAR 1 AND 150 IN YEAR 2; 2) PROVIDE OUTREACH AND EDUCATION IN THE MSB ON PREVENTION EDUCATION AND TREATMENT OPTIONS TO LOCAL MSB TRIBAL COUNCILS, AND HEALTH, EDUCATION, AND SOCIAL SERVICE PROVIDERS BY THE END OF YEAR 1; AND 3) BY THE END OF YEAR 2, PROVIDE OPTIONS FOR CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE ACTIVITIES AND TRADITIONAL PRACTICES TO BE INCLUDED INTO THE PATH FOR HEALTHY LIVING PLAN AND PROGRAM LEARNING CIRCLES TO DECREASE SUBSTANCE USE AMONG INDIVIDUALS IN THE PROGRAM.

INTEGRATING COLORECTAL CANCER SCREENING WITHIN CHRONIC DISEASE PROGRAMS

BUILDING CAPACITY FOR DISSEMINATION AND IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH IN A TRIBAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM - PROJECT SUMMARY - OVERALL AVERAGE LIFE EXPECTANCY FOR ALASKA NATIVE AND AMERICAN INDIAN (ANAI) PEOPLE IS 10 YEARS SHORTER THAN NON- HISPANIC WHITES, AND ANAIS HAVE HIGHER DEATH RATES FROM CONDITIONS SUCH AS DIABETES, HEART DISEASE, AND CANCER. YET, HEALTHCARE SERVICES IN ANAI COMMUNITIES ARE SIGNIFICANTLY UNDERFUNDED. TRIBES AND HEALTH ORGANIZATIONS SERVING ANAI PATIENTS NEED EVIDENCE ABOUT THE SUCCESSFUL IMPLEMENTATION OF EFFECTIVE INTERVENTIONS TO IMPROVE ANAI HEALTH OUTCOMES. SOUTHCENTRAL FOUNDATION (SCF), A TRIBALLY-OWNED AND OPERATED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION WITH AN AWARD-WINNING MODEL OF HEALTHCARE DELIVERY AND REDESIGN, THUS PROPOSES A SET OF FIVE INDEPENDENT YET RELATED EFFORTS IN THIS CENTER APPLICATION, “BUILDING CAPACITY FOR DISSEMINATION AND IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH IN A TRIBAL HEALTHCARE SYSTEM.” SCF IS THE PRIMARY APPLICANT AND WILL LEAD THESE EFFORTS WITH LOCAL PARTNERS AT THE ALASKA NATIVE TRIBAL HEALTH CONSORTIUM AND UNIVERSITY OF ALASKA, AS WELL AS NATIONAL PARTNERS AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON, MAYO CLINIC, AND UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS MEDICAL SCIENCES. OTHER EXPERTS WITHIN AND OUTSIDE OF ALASKA WILL PROVIDE ADDITIONAL SUPPORT. IMPLEMENTING A DIABETES SCREENING AND REFERRAL SERVICES DEVELOPED FOR DENTAL CLINICS WITHIN AN URBAN ALASKA NATIVE HEALTH CARE SETTING (RP1) WILL STUDY THE IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EVIDENCE-BASED INTERVENTION TO IDENTIFY ANAIS AT RISK FOR DIABETES; METABOLISM-INFORMED CARE TO AID ALASKA NATIVE PEOPLE TO QUIT SMOKING (RP2) WILL ASSESS THE ACCEPTABILITY AND FEASIBILITY OF USING A NICOTINE METABOLITE RATIO TEST TO SELECT SMOKING CESSATION TREATMENT; AND JUMPSTARTING CULTURALLY-INFORMED ADVANCE CARE PLANNING WITH ANAI PEOPLE IN PRIMARY CARE (RP3) WILL EVALUATE THE EFFECTIVENESS AND IMPLEMENTATION OF AN EVIDENCE- BASED, CULTURALLY-TAILORED PALLIATIVE CARE INTERVENTION IN ANAIS WITH SERIOUS ILLNESS. TWO CAPACITY BUILDING EFFORTS WILL OPTIMIZE SUCCESS OF THE RPS AND CENTER AS A WHOLE. THE RESEARCHER CAREER ENHANCEMENT PROJECT WILL PROVIDE ONGOING TRAINING AND MENTORING IN FOUNDATIONAL RESEARCH SKILLS AND BUILD NEW CAPACITY IN D&I RESEARCH. THE ADMINISTRATIVE CORE WILL SUPPORT COMMUNICATION AND COORDINATION, IMPLEMENT A UNIFIED EVALUATION STRATEGY, AND CREATE A NEW CAREER PATHWAY FOR ANAI RESEARCH ADMINISTRATORS. ALL CENTER COMPONENTS WILL BE EVALUATED USING TWO WELL-RECOGNIZED D&I RESEARCH FRAMEWORKS: REACH, EFFECTIVENESS, ADOPTION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND MAINTENANCE (RE-AIM) AND THE CONSOLIDATED FRAMEWORK FOR IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH (CFIR). THE PROPOSED CENTER WILL EXPAND RESEARCH CAPACITY WITHIN AN ESTABLISHED ANAI-LED AND -OPERATED RESEARCH DEPARTMENT. FULFILLMENT OF THE SPECIFIC AIMS WILL ADVANCE THE CAPACITY THE TRIBAL HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION AND ANAI RESEARCHERS TO LEAD FUTURE RESEARCH FOCUSED ON IMPROVING THE HEALTH OF ANAIS.

ALASKA NATIVE COMMUNITIES ADVANCING VACCINE UPTAKE - PROJECT SUMMARY ALASKA NATIVE AND AMERICAN INDIAN (ANAI) COMMUNITIES ARE EXPERIENCING A DISPROPORTIONATE SHARE OF SARS- COV-2 INFECTION AND ITS SEQUELAE IN THE US. AS OF SEPTEMBER 2021, ANAI PEOPLE HAD A CUMULATIVE INCIDENCE OF 9,256 COVID-19 CASES PER 100,000, COMPARED WITH 5,445 AMONG NON-HISPANIC WHITES. THE CURRENT RATE OF COVID-19 ASSOCIATED DEATHS PER 100,000 POPULATION IS 220 AMONG ANAI PEOPLE, COMPARED WITH 137 AMONG NON-HISPANIC WHITES. WIDESPREAD VACCINATION REMAINS THE BEST STRATEGY TO CONTROL COVID-19 MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY, BUT THE US HAS ONE OF THE LOWEST VACCINE ACCEPTANCE RATES IN THE WORLD WITH WIDE REGIONAL VARIABILITY. LITTLE RESEARCH HAS ATTEMPTED TO UNDERSTAND OR ADDRESS BARRIERS TO COVID-19 VACCINATION IN ANAI PEOPLE, DESPITE UNIQUE GEOGRAPHICAL, HISTORICAL, AND CULTURAL FACTORS THAT COULD INFLUENCE VACCINE UPTAKE IN THIS POPULATION. WE HAVE FORMED A CONSORTIUM OF TRIBAL HEALTH LEADERS FROM ACROSS ALASKA TO BETTER UNDERSTAND VACCINE ATTITUDES AND INTENTIONS, INCLUDING HESITANCY, AND TO INCREASE VACCINE UPTAKE IN ALASKAN ANAI COMMUNITIES. IN CONJUNCTION WITH COMMUNITY ADVISORS, WE WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT A THEORY-DRIVEN INTERVENTION THAT IS GROUNDED IN ANAI VALUES OF RELATIONALITY AND RESPECT. FIRST, WE WILL USE VACCINATION TRACKING DATA TO ASSESS CURRENT RATES OF VACCINE UPTAKE AND ANALYZE PREEXISTING QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DATA REGARDING VACCINE ATTITUDES, INTENTIONS, AND BEHAVIOR AMONG ANAI PEOPLE IN RURAL AND URBAN AREAS OF ALASKA. WE WILL ALSO CONDUCT A SURVEY IN SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA TO INFORM INTERVENTION DESIGN. SECOND, WE WILL WORK WITH STATEWIDE TRIBAL HEALTH LEADERS AND REGIONAL COMMUNITY ADVISORY BOARDS TO CREATE EDUCATIONAL INFORMATION, STORIES, AND MESSAGES KEYED TO THE BELIEFS AND PERCEIVED NORMS THAT DRIVE VACCINE BEHAVIOR. THIS CONTENT WILL BE INCORPORATED INTO AN EHEALTH TOOLKIT FOR USE BY COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND SPECIALLY TRAINED COMMUNITY VACCINE ADVOCATES, LAYPEOPLE WHO VOLUNTEER TO PROVIDE INFORMATION AND MOTIVATIONAL/EMOTIONAL SUPPORT TO THEIR FRIENDS, FAMILIES, AND COMMUNITIES. THIRD, WE WILL LAUNCH THE INTERVENTION IN THE SOUTHCENTRAL REGION OF ALASKA AND EVALUATE EFFECTIVENESS USING THE REACH, EFFECTIVENESS, ADOPTION, IMPLEMENTATION, AND MAINTENANCE (RE- AIM) FRAMEWORK. REFINEMENTS BASED ON PROGRAM DATA AND PARTICIPANT FEEDBACK WILL BE MADE, THEN THE REFINED INTERVENTION WILL BE DEPLOYED IN TWO RURAL REGIONS OF ALASKA AND EVALUATED. THIS PROJECT WILL ADD TO THE LIMITED EVIDENCE BASE REGARDING ADULT VACCINE ATTITUDES, INTENTIONS, AND BEHAVIORS AMONG ANAI PEOPLE. IT HOLDS THE POTENTIAL TO INCREASE VACCINATION IN A HARD-HIT POPULATION AND BUILD SUPPORT FOR FUTURE VACCINATION AS SARS-COV2 CONTINUES TO EVOLVE. OUR FINDINGS WILL HAVE BROADER APPLICABILITY TO VACCINE OUTREACH AND ENGAGING ANAI COMMUNITIES IN LEVERAGING PEER RELATIONSHIPS, THEIR SOCIAL NETWORKS, AND EHEALTH TO PROMOTE HEALTH EDUCATION AND BEHAVIOR CHANGE.

INTEGRATING THE WISEWOMEN CARDIOVASCULAR RISK SCREENING PROCESS INTO ITS PRIMARY CARE CLINICS, SCF WILL USE ITS PRIMARY CARE TEAMS TO PERFORM SCREENING AND PROVIDE RESULT INFORMATION TO ALL WOMAN.

JUMPSTARTING CULTURALLY-INFORMED ADVANCE CARE PLANNING WITH ANAI PEOPLE IN PRIMARY CARE - PROJECT SUMMARY CHRONIC DISEASE CAUSES THE MOST DEATH AND DISABILITY IN THE UNITED STATES (US), AND AMERICAN INDIAN/ALASKA NATIVE PEOPLE (ANAIS) ARE MORE LIKELY THAN PEOPLE OF ALL OTHER RACES TO DIE OF HEART DISEASE, DIABETES, CHRONIC LOWER RESPIRATORY DISEASE, CIRRHOSIS, STROKE, PNEUMONIA, KIDNEY DISEASE, AND HYPERTENSION. AMONG ANAIS AGE 55 AND OLDER, 90% HAVE AT LEAST ONE CHRONIC CONDITION, COMPARED WITH 78% OF THEIR US PEERS. AS THE OLDER ANAI POPULATION RAPIDLY INCREASES, WITH HIGHER RATES OF SERIOUS ILLNESS THAN THE GENERAL POPULATION, THERE IS AN URGENT NEED FOR STRATEGIES TO PROVIDE CULTURALLY TAILORED PALLIATIVE AND END-OF-LIFE CARE INTERVENTIONS FOR SERIOUSLY ILL ANAIS. HOWEVER, ANAIS ARE FAR LESS LIKELY THAN THEIR US PEERS TO USE PALLIATIVE CARE, INCLUDING ADVANCE CARE PLANNING (ACP), WHICH INVOLVES DISCUSSING PATIENT VALUES AND GOALS TO ALIGN CARE WITH PATIENT PREFERENCES. ACP LEADS TO BETTER OUTCOMES FOR PATIENTS, THEIR FAMILIES, AND HEALTH SYSTEMS, INCLUDING DECREASED DEPRESSION, ANXIETY, AND GRIEF, FEWER NON-BENEFICIAL END-OF-LIFE TREATMENTS, AND REDUCED COST. ACP IS TYPICALLY DOCUMENTED IN ADVANCE DIRECTIVES (ADS) THAT SPECIFY PATIENT PREFERENCES FOR LIFE-SUSTAINING TREATMENTS AND WHO CAN MAKE MEDICAL DECISIONS ON THEIR BEHALF. YET, LESS THAN A THIRD OF SERIOUSLY ILL US ADULTS HAVE ADS, AND ANAIS AGE 55 AND OLDER ARE ONLY HALF AS LIKELY TO HAVE ADS AS THEIR WHITE PEERS. PREVIOUS RESEARCH SUGGESTS THAT ANAIS WILL ENGAGE IN ACP AND COMPLETE ADS WHEN GIVEN ACCESS TO TIMELY AND CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE ACP CONVERSATIONS, BUT NO ACP COMMUNICATION INTERVENTIONS HAVE BEEN RIGOROUSLY TESTED WITH ANAIS. OUR TEAM USED COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT METHODS TO CULTURALLY TAILOR AN ACP COMMUNICATION INTERVENTION AND PILOT THE TAILORED INTERVENTION—JUMPSTART ANAI—WITH 68 SERIOUSLY ILL ADULT ANAIS AT SOUTHCENTRAL FOUNDATION (SCF), A TRIBAL HEALTH SYSTEM IN ALASKA. WE RECRUITED 97% OF THE TARGET SAMPLE (N=70) AND RETAINED >75% OF PATIENTS AT FOLLOW-UP. WE ALSO FOUND THAT 95% OF PATIENTS STATED THAT JUMPSTART ANAI HELPED THEM TO HAVE ACP CONVERSATIONS WITH THEIR PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS. THIS PROJECT EXPANDS UPON A STRONG COMMUNITY-ACADEMIC PARTNERSHIP TO IMPLEMENT JUMPSTART ANAI IN THE TRIBAL HEALTH SYSTEM AND EVALUATE IT USING AN INNOVATIVE TYPE 1 HYBRID EFFECTIVENESS-IMPLEMENTATION APPROACH. OUR SPECIFIC AIMS ARE TO: 1) ENGAGE STAKEHOLDERS TO TAILOR AN IMPLEMENTATION PLAN FOR THE TRIBAL HEALTH SYSTEM THAT INTEGRATES JUMPSTART ANAI INTO ROUTINE PRIMARY CARE PRACTICE; 2) CONDUCT A CLUSTER-RANDOMIZED TRIAL WITH 40 PRIMARY CARE PROVIDERS AND 280 SERIOUSLY ILL ANAI PATIENTS TO TEST THE EFFECTIVENESS OF JUMPSTART ANAI FOR INCREASING ACP AS COMPARED TO USUAL CARE; AND 3) CONDUCT A RIGOROUS MIXED-METHODS PROCESS EVALUATION USING THE CONSOLIDATED FRAMEWORK FOR IMPLEMENTATION RESEARCH TO ASSESS BARRIERS AND FACILITATORS TO IMPLEMENTING JUMPSTART ANAI SYSTEM-WIDE. IMPROVING ACCESS TO AND DELIVERY OF CULTURALLY APPROPRIATE EVIDENCE-BASED ACP IS A HIGH PRIORITY FOR ALASKA’S TRIBAL HEALTH LEADERS AND COMMUNITIES. BY EVALUATING THE EFFECTIVENESS OF A CULTURALLY TAILORED ACP INTERVENTION AND TAILORING IMPLEMENTATION OF THE INTERVENTION INTO ROUTINE CARE, THIS STUDY WILL PROVIDE CRITICAL EVIDENCE FOR IMPROVING PALLIATIVE CARE AND END-OF-LIFE CARE FOR SERIOUSLY ILL ANAI PEOPLE AND THEIR FAMILIES.

PARTNERSHIP TO SUPPORT INDIGENOUS-DRIVEN GENOMIC RESEARCH - SOUTHCENTRAL FOUNDATION’S (SCF) PROPOSED BUILDING PARTNERSHIPS AND BROADENING PERSPECTIVES TO ADVANCE ETHICAL, LEGAL, AND SOCIAL IMPLICATIONS (BBAER) PROGRAM WILL EXTEND MEANINGFUL COLLABORATION WITH AMERICAN INDIAN AND ALASKA NATIVE (AI/AN) COMMUNITIES AND AI/AN-SERVING HEALTH SYSTEMS IN ALASKA AND OKLAHOMA WITH THE OVERALL AIM OF PROMOTING TRIBALLY-DEFINED APPROACHES TOWARD GENOMIC RESEARCH WITH HIGH IMPACT.  AS SOVEREIGN NATIONS, TRIBES HAVE THE RIGHT TO OVERSEE RESEARCH WITH THEIR CITIZENS. TO ADDRESS AI/AN HEALTH DISPARITIES, GENOMIC RESEARCH – WHETHER AT THE COMMUNITY LEVEL OR VIA LARGE REPOSITORIES WITH DATA AND BIOLOGICAL SPECIMENS FROM AI/AN PEOPLE FROM A MULTITUDE OF TRIBES – MUST BE CONDUCTED FROM AN APPROACH DEFINED BY AI/AN COMMUNITIES AND LED BY AND IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AI/AN PEOPLE. SCF IS A TRIBALLY-OWNED AND OPERATED HEALTHCARE ORGANIZATION AND PROVIDES SERVICES TO MORE THAN 70,000 AI/AN PEOPLE IN SOUTHCENTRAL ALASKA. SCF RESEARCHERS HAVE LED INQUIRY INTO THE ETHICAL CONDUCT OF GENOMIC RESEARCH WITH AI/AN PEOPLE SINCE 2006. ENGAGING AI/AN TRIBAL LEADERSHIP TO ASSESS INTEREST IN PURSUING GENOMICS HAS BEEN CENTRAL TO SCF’S EMPIRIC EFFORTS. SCF RESEARCHERS DR. VANESSA HIRATSUKA AND MS. JULIE BEANS WILL LEAD THIS EFFORT AND EXTEND THEIR EXPERIENCE IN CREATING MEANINGFUL DIALOGUES WITH AI/AN COMMUNITIES ABOUT COMMUNITY BENEFIT AND IMPACT OF GENOMICS. OUR BBAER PROGRAM WILL LEVERAGE LONG-TERM PARTNERSHIPS WITH DR. JESSICA BLANCHARD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA AND DR. SUSAN TRINIDAD AT THE UNIVERSITY OF WASHINGTON TO ACHIEVE THE FOLLOWING SPECIFIC AIMS: (1) WE WILL DEVELOP SCF’S COMMUNITY-DRIVEN ELSI RESEARCH VISION AND STRATEGIC MANAGEMENT APPROACH; (2) WE WILL IDENTIFY AND EVALUATE THE IMPACTS OF APPROACHES USED TO INCLUDE AI/AN PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES IN GENOMIC RESEARCH THROUGH DOCUMENT ANALYSIS AND DISCOURSE TRACING, DESCRIBE TRIBAL CITIZENS’ PERSPECTIVES OF GENOMIC RESEARCH USING FOCUS GROUPS IN ALASKA AND OKLAHOMA, AND EXPLORE TRIBAL LEADERS’ EXPERIENCES AND EXPECTATIONS FOR HOW TO ACHIEVE HIGH IMPACT AND MAXIMIZE BENEFIT IN GENOMIC RESEARCH USING PUBLIC DELIBERATION IN ALASKA AND OKLAHOMA; (3) WORKING WITH AI/AN COMMUNITY MEMBERS AND EXPERTS, TRIBAL LEADERS, AND NIH PROGRAM STAFF, WE WILL DEVELOP AND IMPLEMENT TOOLS AND METHODS TO PROMOTE AND ASSESS OUR PROGRESS TOWARD MEANINGFUL COLLABORATION AND TEAM SCIENCE IN INDIGENOUS-DRIVEN GENOMIC RESEARCH THROUGH THE LENSES OF RELATIONAL ACCOUNTABILITY AND TRANSFORMATIVE AGENCY; (4) WE WILL USE THE RESEARCH AND EVALUATION CAPACITY ASSESSMENT TOOL AND RESOURCE PACKAGE (RECAP) TO IDENTIFY RESEARCH CAPACITY BUILDING NEEDS AND IMPLEMENT ANNUAL WORK PLANS, PERSONNEL DEVELOPMENT AND DISTRIBUTION OF RESOURCES TO SUPPORT LONG-TERM MAINTENANCE OF AN SCF ELSI RESEARCH AGENDA; AND (5) WE WILL TRAIN THE NEXT GENERATION OF EARLY CAREER SCHOLARS IN AI/AN ELSI THROUGH MENTORED RESEARCH EXPERIENCES IN PARTNERSHIP WITH AI/AN PEOPLE AND COMMUNITIES.

TO REACH THIS VISION, SCF IS COMMITTED TO ASSISTING ALASKA NATIVE AND AMERICAN INDIAN CHILDREN AND FAMILIES OBTAIN, MAINTAIN, AND UTILIZE HEALTH CARE INSURANCE. PROJECT NEED: ALASKA NATIVE AND AMERICAN INDIAN PEOPLE HAVE THE HIGHEST UNINSURED RATES IN THE NATION. ALASKA HAS 733,391 PEOPLE, 79,431 ARE CHILDREN, AND 22% ARE ALASKA NATIVE AND AMERICAN INDIAN PEOPLE, REPRESENTING THE STATE WITH THE HIGHEST SHARE OF NATIVE PEOPLE, ACCORDING TO THE 2020 U.S. CENSUS. THE CENTER FOR CHILDREN & FAMILIES – CHILDREN’S HEALTH CARE REPORT CARD STATES 9.4% OR APPROXIMATELY 18,000 OF ALASKA’S CHILDREN ARE UNINSURED. ALASKA HAS THE THIRD-HIGHEST RATE OF UNINSURED CHILDREN IN THE NATION, AND NATIVE CHILDREN ARE DISPROPORTIONALLY UNINSURED AT 14.4% IN ALASKA. TARGET POPULATION: THIS PROJECT WILL AIM TO REACH ALASKA NATIVE AND AMERICAN INDIAN CHILDREN, PARENTS, AND PREGNANT INDIVIDUALS IN ALASKA. WHILE THE PROPOSED PROJECT FOCUSES ON NATIVE PEOPLE, SCF WILL PROVIDE ANYONE SCREENING, ENROLLMENT, AND APPLICATION ASSISTANCE. THE PROJECT INCORPORATES TARGETING A MIX OF URBAN AND RURAL COMMUNITIES AND A STATEWIDE REACH WITH THE PARTNERSHIP REFERRAL NETWORK. PROPOSED PROJECT: THIS PROJECT AIMS TO EXPAND AND ENHANCE SCF’S CONNECTING KIDS TO COVERAGE PROGRAM (CKC) TO INCREASE ENROLLMENT OF ALASKA NATIVE AND AMERICAN INDIAN CHILDREN, PARENTS, AND PREGNANT INDIVIDUALS IN ALASKA IN MEDICAID AND DENALI KIDCARE (DKC – ALASKA’S CHILDREN’S HEALTH INSURANCE PROGRAM). BECAUSE OF BARRIERS IN THE NATIVE COMMUNITY, THIS PROPOSED PROJECT EMPHASIZES EDUCATION, OUTREACH, ENROLLMENT, ONE-ON-ONE DIRECT APPLICATION ASSISTANCE, AND COMMUNITY PARTNER ENGAGEMENT.
