In an effort to honor individuals, Tribes, organizations, and programs that have enriched and improved American Indian and Alaska Native public health, the National Indian Health Board (NIHB) invites nominations for the Public Health Innovation Awards. NIHB plans to offer three awards in total –
• One National Award, to a recipient whose work has had a significant national impact;
• One Regional Award, to a recipient whose work has primarily impacted an area or region
• One Local Award, to a recipient whose work has been primarily local in impacting a community or Tribe

The Public Health Innovation Awards were created to recognize excellence, achievement, and innovations that are above and beyond the call of service. NIHB recognizes that public health is a traditional Native value, that is important to Native health and wellness, and that Tribes have led the way in creating and implementing public health programming and services that align not only with contemporary needs, but with cultural beliefs as well. Each award will highlight the work and vision of a Tribe, individual, organization, or program that has worked to improve health status or outcomes, implement new programming, address long standing health disparities, and/or increase the visibility of Tribal public health concerns. NIHB will present the awards at the National Tribal Public Health Summit 2022.
