* Note:
* Two sites, the Tanana Chiefs Conference and the South Puget Intertribal Planning Agency are sites in both the study of the Coordination of Tribal TANF Child Welfare Grants (CTTCW) and the Tribal TANF study. Each are separate grant programs and vary in terms of programmatic requirements and objectives. However, there are common constructs with each study. The Tribal TANF descriptive study has concluded. The CTTCW study is active. In order to reduce burden and redundancy with the two sites, there will be a review of the common constructs and interview protocols to determine if responses are up to date and accurate for CTTCW descriptive study.
* There is one site, Cook Inlet Tribal Council that is part of both the Tribal Health Professionals Opportunities study and the Coordination of Tribal TANF Child Welfare study. Each are separate grant programs and vary in terms of programmatic requirements and objectives. However, there are few common constructs with each study. In order to reduce burden and redundancy , there will be a review of the common constructs and interview protocols to determine if responses are up to date and accurate for CTTCW descriptive study.
