About this archived opportunity

This Request for Applications is specifically for California tribal and urban Indian organizations and entities with demonstrated knowledge of the Native experience, the strengths and healing capacity of community-defined cultural practices, and the need for inclusion of culture and community-defined practices as a key part of substance use prevention, treatment, and recovery. Organizations and entities to be awarded under the TUICDBP program will have an opportunity to identify and integrate cultural, traditional, and community-defined best practices into substance use disorder (SUD) supports for engagement, treatment, and recovery. For the purposes of the TUICDBP program, community-defined best practices are defined as cultural and traditional practices informed, guided, and determined by a community that are recognized to have positive results and community consensus reaching a level of acceptance[1]. Funded California organizations and entities will have an opportunity to explore cultural and community strengths, as well as the impact of trauma, systemic racism, poverty, and other disparities and the relationship of these negative experiences to self-medicating actions for stress relief that could lead to substance addiction.
