Abstract: As more tribes and urban programs begin to take a more active role in developing and expanding their health programs, they are seeking resources and assistance from a variety of new sources. The Center for Native American Health (CNAH) at the University of Arizona is an example of a unique collaboration in Indian health that assists tribes and urban programs as they develop health and prevention programs in their communities. An Advisory Council that consists of tribal health directors and urban Indian program directors directs the CNAH. It is funded through multiple sources, both in the public and private sector
