Discussion 1. What do you think of the overall structure that there would be a statewide coordinating center, grants specifically for Tribal government organizations, and grants specifically for American Indian/Native American (AI/NA) non-profit agencies? 2. Do you think it is appropriate for the statewide coordinating center to have a role in developing paid media and placement of it for all the AI/NA projects to use? What media channels are appropriate to reach AI/NA audiences? 3. Do you think it would be appropriate for Tribal housing organizations to apply for funding as a Tribal government organization? Are there other types of tribal government organizations that might apply? 4. What types of educational and policy efforts do you think are necessary to prevent and reduce tobacco use among American Indian populations? 5. What suggestions do you have for making sure that smaller tribes have an equitable chance for funding? 6. Electronic Survey feedback: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/qbbyqpf
