National Native Center of Excellence

The National Native Center of Excellence (NNCOE) is a Native centered research, training and technical resource center that utilizes strength-based ways to serve Tribal Nations and Native Communities. With the leadership of NNCOE’s National Native Advisory Council, the Center’s work is focused in the intersecting fields of health utilizing Native concepts through a public health lens. The NNCOE prioritizes community and tribally specific knowledges, value systems, and cultural practices. Our scope of work encompasses substance misuse and addiction, suicide prevention, domestic violence prevention, the prevention of Missing and Murdered Indigenous People events, and service to the Native veterans’ community.
