Differentiators

Tribal Tech has played a vital role for nearly a decade in supporting the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) and the Administration for Native Americans (ANA). We support ANA’s grant recipients by fostering meaningful relationships and delivering high-quality services to help meet their grant requirements. Our team conducts outcome visits to gather qualitative and quantitative data on the accomplishments of these grant recipients. This information allows us to share the success of the grant programs, best practices, and lessons learned, ultimately assisting them in enhancing their services. Additionally, we have strong capabilities in grants management for grants-related contracts with HHS’ Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration Tribal Training and Technical Assistance Center and Native Connections grantees.
