What it does

The UDN is a federal research network for patients with undiagnosed conditions. Tribal governments that are not federally recognized are listed among eligible applicants, and the forecast sets aside (reserves) no money for them. The forecast states that applications are not being solicited at this time, so the estimated timing is the only dates offered for planning.

Why it matters for tribal funding

Tribes eligible. Tribes or Native organizations are among those who can apply or are covered, alongside others.

Who it covers: Tribal governments.
