Tribal Health Equity Data Symposium
March 4-5, 2025 | Washington, D.C.
National Indian Health Board will host the Tribal Health Equity Data Symposium on March 4 – 5, 2025 at the AT&T Forum in Washington, D.C. This no-cost symposium will explore how we can reimagine the ways in which we use data to advance health equity for American Indians and Alaska Natives. We will hear diverse perspectives and participate in robust discussions about what it can look like to have a Tribally-driven, culturally-grounded approach to data collection, analysis, governance, and communications.

Poster abstracts may be submitted by email to Rochelle Ruffer and Jeannie Le at data@nihb.org by Friday, February 7. Please include “Tribal Health Equity Data Symposium Poster” in the subject line. In your email, please include the following:
Proposals are no longer being accepted for panel presentations. However, we are looking for posters for our poster session. If you have examples or case studies of how your organization/Tribe uses data to advance health equity, we would like to hear from you. This may include research, case studies, best practices, community perspectives, front line findings, lived experiences, and policy insights, among other culturally-grounded data work. We are especially interested in posters that showcase culturally relevant data visualization, dissemination of findings, and translation of findings for application in policy and practice to advance health equity.
Note: Our goal is to have a diverse group of perspectives represented from various sectors of work related to Tribal health equity data. We welcome poster submissions that (1) advance health equity for American Indians and Alaska Natives; (2) use a Tribal lens and/or come from a perspective of Indigenous identity; and (3) have practical application. All individuals from Tribes, Tribal organizations, government agencies, health organizations, academia, and community-based organizations are welcome to submit posters, including policy leaders, data analysts, researchers, medical, doctoral, and graduate students, and others. However, we cannot accept posters that are commercial or promotional, posters with plagiarized research, or submissions with substantive errors.
Abstract submissions for posters will be reviewed and selected by staff at National Indian Health Board (NIHB). Submissions will be reviewed based on the following:
Poster submissions will be reviewed on a rolling basis, but all applicants will be notified no later than Tuesday, February 11 as to the acceptance of their poster. Once accepted, one author must be in-person to participate in the poster session at the Tribal Health Equity Data Symposium on Tuesday, March 4. We hope you plan to stay for the entire symposium.
Please note there is no registration fee for the symposium. However, there is no funding for travel and/or expenses for presenters or attendees.
