Applications must be received by June 15, 2007.
The goal of this fourth policy academy is to enhance the provision of services for co-occurring disorders among tribes and tribal communities. The policy academy will encourage tribes and tribal organizations to consider how local policies and programs influence the response to co-occurring disorders and whether changes could improve their efforts.
