The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry (ATSDR) announce an upcoming consultation that will convene leaders from tribal nations, CDC, and ATSDR:

CDC Rape Prevention and Education Program Tribal Consultation
July 12, 2023 2:00–3:30 pm (EDT)

The consultation will occur virtually via Zoom. To register, please use this registration link. The agenda will be available on May 12, 2023 at the CDC Tribal Health website www.cdc.gov/tribal.

This Tribal consultation will provide opportunities for leaders from Tribal nations, CDC, and ATSDR to have a government-to-government discussion to ensure that the Notice of Funding Opportunity (NOFO) for new funding from the Rape Prevention and Education (RPE) program is sensitive to the needs and concerns of Tribal communities, and that the funding opportunity is as effective as possible in preventing sexual violence. CDC/ATSDR wants to hear how to best support Tribal nations and Tribal communities on RPE efforts and addressing injury prevention-related health inequities.

Elected Tribal officials are encouraged to submit written Tribal testimony by 5:00 pm (EDT) on July 24, 2023, by email to CDC’s Tribal Support mailbox, tribalsupport@cdc.gov, or by mail at the following address:
