Data Interpretation

The data provide a useful high-level snapshot of funding to tribes and tribal organizations that can inform more in-depth conversations and engagement

Various factors make analysis of funding data across fiscal years and jurisdictions difficult to interpret and may lead to inaccurate conclusions in the absence of more in-depth study

Data Interpretation (cont.)

Factors influencing variation in funding profiles across fiscal years include but are not limited to

Changes driven by Congressional authorizations, appropriations, and appropriations committee directions (e.g., decreases or increases in funding for existing programs,  establishment or defunding of specified programs or activities and/or grant funding eligibility requirements) 

Changes in public health and funding strategies based on new information, the latest data, and urgent or emerging health issues/needs

Updates in methodology for collecting and presenting the funding data, if applicable
