  2. Establish the systems and processes needed to receive eCR data directly to the tribal public health authority by connecting to the Association of Public Health Labs (APHL) Informatics Messaging Service (AIMS)
  3. Establish a set of criteria, or rules, that will be used by AIMS to send the designated eCRs of tribal citizens directly to the tribal public health authority
  4. Establish the necessary internal processes to ensure timely and successful project implementation
Eligibility

Eligible applicants include federally recognized tribal governments, tribal organizations, and inter-tribal consortium. Tribal Epidemiology Centers and other tribal bodies with public health authority are also eligible to apply.
