Transcript

SStephanie Dobos (sheher)

04:17

Make that happen for you, but we're really excited to have you guys here. This
is a really good turnout for our first meeting, and I'm excited to see some
familiar people and looking forward to getting to know anybody who I haven't met
yet. I'm going to put my email address in the chat, just so you have it. Put it
on a post it, stick it on your computer, tattoo it if you want, that's fine,
too. But really looking forward to this and really excited to have Chelsea at
the helm. She's going to do great. 
IIzzy Burke

04:49

And, Chelsea, we can also. I don't want to derail the meeting from what you have
planned to do, but if you'd like Stephanie and I to kind of give that
programmatic update, we can do that now, maybe before jumping into the nitty
gritty of east coast southern plains. Specific info, if that sounds good to
you. 
CChelsea Rangel

05:07

Yeah, I think that'd be a great idea. 
CChelsea Rangel

05:09

Great. Okay. 
IIzzy Burke

05:11

And I was also looking through my. 
CChelsea Rangel

05:13

Computer to try to find a shareable. 
IIzzy Burke

05:14

Copy of this to put in the group chat. And I think I just. Who have not maybe
been active in iHeart in recent months, or who maybe are joining us for the
first time. We have a recap of the summit that we had virtually in May 2024,
which I think is a great resource to kind of get up to speed on what we've been
working on and maybe a quick show of hands for those who are in the call
today. Is anyone joining us for the very. 
CChelsea Rangel

05:45

First time or has no prior? 
IIzzy Burke

05:47

Oh, great. Okay. I see at least one person. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

05:50

I'm also first. 
CChelsea Rangel

05:53

Great. 
IIzzy Burke

05:54

Okay. And June, I think I remember meeting you at the AAIP summit. I think I was
in your breakout session, poster presentation. 
CChelsea Rangel

06:02

So great to see you. 
IIzzy Burke

06:04

That's great to hear then. So I will take just a moment to download a copy of
this PDF so that I can share that with everyone. But this summit recap will be a
great kind of introduction if you want to skim it, just to get a sense of what
we've been doing over the past few months. 
CChelsea Rangel

06:19

Let me just do this real quick. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

06:21

Izzy. 
SStephanie Dobos (sheher)

06:22

It looked like someone had their hand raised. Were you just. 
CChelsea Rangel

06:24

Oh, sure, Kristen. 
SStephanie Dobos (sheher)

06:25

Were you just raising your hand to say that this was your first time, or did you
have something else you had to add? 
KKristen Wilson

06:31

Yes, just that this is my first time. 
IIzzy Burke

06:34

Oh, great. Welcome. 
SStephanie Dobos (sheher)

06:35

Happy to have you. 
CChelsea Rangel

06:36

Wonderful. 
IIzzy Burke

06:37

All right, I think it looks like that file is going through now. 
CChelsea Rangel

06:42

So this is. 
IIzzy Burke

06:43

Yep. 
CChelsea Rangel

06:43

Right there in the chat. 
IIzzy Burke

06:44

If you want to check out that PDF, it's a good little introduction to iHeart,
but the big picture overview I can share is that so? 
CChelsea Rangel

06:51

IHeart is the indigenous health education and resources task force. It is a task
force in the. 
IIzzy Burke

06:57

Sense that it doesn't have a physical home base or location, but it's composed
of representatives from a couple different organizations. One is ahecdeze that
I'm from AAIp, which Stephanie is from AAMC. 
CChelsea Rangel

07:11

The Association of American Medical Colleges is. 
IIzzy Burke

07:14

Also one of the founding organizations, and now the University of Minnesota is
also involved through one of their faculty members as a PI for the grant. 
CChelsea Rangel

07:24

And the grant funding for iHeart comes from the Robert Wood Johnson foundation. 
IIzzy Burke

07:29

So essentially the goal of iHeart when it was put together in 2021 is to address
the lack of indigenous representation in health sciences careers. And by doing
so, by addressing that issue, we also strive to improve health. 
CChelsea Rangel

07:44

Outcomes for indigenous people. 
IIzzy Burke

07:46

So that's kind of the big picture goal and how that plays out in a more granular
level in terms of our activities and our goals for what we're trying to
accomplish. One of the main functions is to try to create a network of
organizations and also individuals in the health sciences, both indigenous and
also those who are friends of indigenous health professionals and have a vested
interest in wanting to see our outcomes come to fruition from across the
country. We are broken up into five different regions, and east coast, southern
Plains is one of those five, and it's also geographically the largest. But at
the same time, we also. 
IIzzy Burke

08:26

One of the things which I think we're going to hope to accomplish early on today
and in the coming meetings with Chelsea, is to better understand the
demographics and who we are, who we have in this area, who we can pull together
and work with on our programming together. But so it is one of five regions that
we've kind of broken up our network into. So our goal is to try to expand both
within regions and also across regions, information sharing about pathways
programs and. 
CChelsea Rangel

08:57

Grant opportunities and scholarships for indigenous students. And our focus is
pretty wide in. 
IIzzy Burke

09:02

The sense that we look at k through twelve all the way through residency, in
terms of the age group that we the demographic that we wanna serve. So focusing
on building networks, also creating more novel programs which address the lack
of indigenous representation, so creating actual programming or expanding upon
existing programming that helps to put indigenous students on a pathway to
success in health sciences education. And then finally, another more concrete
goal that we're working on is trying to create a GIS map of these pathway
programs across the country, so that people who are in education or people who
are in health sciences fields who want to be able to share information
directly. 
CChelsea Rangel

09:49

With students can have a way to. 
IIzzy Burke

09:50

Display programming based on where they're geographically located. So that way
we can help to match up students to a pathway program or to an internship or
fellowship opportunity aligns with their education goals and also, you know,
where they're physically located in the country. So that's kind of a very
broad. 
CChelsea Rangel

10:07

Strokes overview of iHeart. 
IIzzy Burke

10:08

And again, I definitely recommend skimming that PDF that I put in the meeting
chat if you'd like a little more info, but that should hopefully get us started
at least on a good foot. So, yeah, I might. Chelsea, I can turn it over to you
if you'd like to go ahead and take us from there. 
CChelsea Rangel

10:27

Yeah, I'm ready to go. Let's see. Okay, so I think we have probably enough time
if everyone wanted to introduce themselves, maybe let us know what state you're
from, if you have any tribal affiliations, where you work, and what role you
play in your organization. So whoever wants to go ahead, go first. We'll go
ahead and let them go first. 
KKristen Wilson

11:09

I can go real quick. Natasha Bray I'm the campus dean for Oklahoma State
University's College of Osteopathic medicine at the Cherokee Nation. I am not a
enrolled tribal member, but my husband and children are, and we are in
Oklahoma. 
CC Frazer Shipman MD

11:34

I can go. I am a family doctor and social medicine doctor in Massachusetts. I
work with the Massachusetts Medical Society and the various indigenous organized
groups in Massachusetts. And I have been retired for a few years, but I'm quite
active in my non clinical specialty of social medicine, mainly in being an
advocate for indigenous people in Massachusetts and Medicare for all, I should
say. I was a family doctor for Apache Nation two years, Navajo nation three
years, and smaller nations another three years. So my I am a non indigenous
member, American Association of American Indian Physicians, and have been for
more than ten years. 
IIzzy Burke

12:43

I can go next. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

12:48

Alital? 
IIzzy Burke

12:49

Sonia Fraser Chakasha Mija Chattasia hello. My name is Sonia Fraser. I am
Choctaw Chickasaw. I am a registered nurse and I am the president of the
Oklahoma Indigenous Nurses association. We were also featured in a film by the
Robert Wood Johnson foundation in shift films, excuse me, called everybody's
Work, which features or discusses racism in nursing. And so we got to share our
story about historical trauma, how it has affected us in the healthcare system,
and what we are doing to help change that. And if anybody has an opportunity, I
would recommend going to shiftnursing.com to check out that film and maybe even
hosting a screening. We're going to the Oklahoma Nurses association convention
next week to be on a panelist to discuss that documentary. 
IIzzy Burke

13:53

But we also are on the American Nurses Association Commission to address racism
and the code of Ethics for Nursing. And I'm also involved with the Johnson
O'Malley program to inspire our native youth to go into the health
profession. So everything that was discussed today is right along what we're
doing. So I'm very happy to be here today. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

14:21

I'll go with the next one. So I'm also from Oklahoma. My name is Jean Zhao. I'm
an assistant professor at a University of Oklahoma Health Sciences center school
of Public Health. So I'm not native, but my research program is mainly focused
on native american health. So right now we have a strong heart study founded sub
project which is about immunization intervention at the IHS hospitals and
clinics in Oklahoma. So we've had the funding already and we're just waiting for
the IHS IRB results. We've already talked with the area office, and they were
very supportive verbally. So once that's approved, we really cannot wait to go
to the hospital and clinics and provide education, whatever information the
patients need. So I look forward to any collaboration or community engage the
studies with. With. With any of you who wants to improve the native american
health. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

15:31

Thank you. Needs according. Sorry. 
KKristen Wilson

15:44

Hello, I'm Kristen Wilson. I'm with Ou health science, Stevenson Cancer center
with the Native American center for Cancer Health Equity. I am the senior
program manager and I'm an enrolled member of the Kickapoo tribe of
oklahoma. And I'm in Oklahoma, but thank you, and I'm glad to be here. 
IIris

16:05

Hi, my name is Iris Sanchez. I'm going right after Kristin. We both work
together at the Stevenson Cancer center for the University of Oklahoma
Health. And I. I'm grateful to be here. I'm currently trying to work on creating
either pathways or at least interest in getting more native students,
particularly interested in cancer research. So I'm happy to be here and to hear,
to learn from everybody. Thank you. 
DDe Leon, Breanna

16:40

I can go. So, Dante, my name is Brianna Deleon. I'm a PhD student at the
University of Pittsburgh and the School of Public Health. My family is Lipin
Apache, and I've done some work with ihar, like, on and off the past couple
years. So excited to see, you know, what Chelsea's gonna do and, you know, the
other champions are gonna do for the program. Super excited. 
RRonny Bell (hehim)

17:10

I'm Ronnie Bell. I'm Lumbee. I'm a professor in the school of pharmacy at UNC
Chapel Hill and also work in the Lionberger Comprehensive Cancer center and our
UNC American Indian center. And I guess over my career, I've been involved in
several student programs. I think Chelsea mentioned the Medcap program, so I was
involved in that program many years ago. It's now operated by the center for
Native Health. And also we had another program called AmEs, which was focused on
the seven state recognized tribes in North Carolina as a high school
students. And we also have a. I know the OU Cancer center folks are here. So we
have a partnership with three conference of cancer centers in North Carolina
focused on cancer disparities in our american indian population in North
Carolina. And we have several students that work with us on that program. 
CChelsea Rangel

18:28

Okay, did we get everyone in the introductions? Okay, so last call, anyone? 
CChelsea Rangel

18:38

Okay. 
AAshley Orphe-SWLAHEC

18:40

Hi, Ashley Arfey with Southwest Louisiana Area Health Education center. I'm the
CEO of this organization, and like many of the partners on the call, I'm here to
learn more about this space and how we can do more. 
CChelsea Rangel

18:56

We're real worried too early. Thank you, Ashley. Thank you for being here. Let's
see anyone else? Okay, let's go on to our next subject. So, thank you all for
being here, for taking the time. It sounds like we're all very passionate about
this program and what we have, we can create together, which is really
exciting. So, like Stephanie mentioned before, our primary goal is to work
towards creating a project to apply for seed funding of up to $20,000. And just
let everyone know the deadline for that is coming up. It's October 15, and so
with that, we have a lot of work to do. We have to put our minds together and
try to figure out what we want to do as a project. 
CChelsea Rangel

19:57

As you can see, just hearing everyone state, you know, we have Louisiana, we
have Oklahoma, North Carolina, Michigan, and they're all pretty far
geographically. And so we're going to try to figure out what we can do together
to support our native students into healthcare. To do that, I think what we can
do is we can start maybe having some meetings. October 15 is about four, around
four weeks away. So if anyone is available to meet weekly, I will start
scheduling some weekly meetings in preparation where we can talk about what we
want to create, like a project. In addition to that, we have a lot of numbers on
paper, and we want to see who has the bandwidth to participate in this project. 
CChelsea Rangel

21:03

And one of the things we're going to be doing is Izzy has worked on a flyer or a
survey to send out after this meeting to get some information on who's available
to meet, who wants to participate. And then also we'd like to put a flyer
together for our region to see, to try to recruit more members who would like to
participate. And then with the flyer, let's see, we'd like to gather some
information. So things such as, you know, we'll, we're going to have to figure
that out, too. You know, what are our goals or ideas, values that we may have
for this region and who we want to reach, theme, community needs or our key
message? 
CChelsea Rangel

21:49

So we're going to have some information coming out pretty regularly the next
couple of weeks to gather information on what we want to do and what this region
wants to accomplish. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

22:04

Chelsea, I was wondering if you could clarify a little bit. Maybe you mentioned
it already, but I miss it out. So what's the mechanism of this grant? You
mentioned the deadline is October 15, right? So who is the founder? What's the
purpose? And you also mentioned about the amount is at $20,000. Right? So, yeah,
I was just wondering, so who's the founder? What's the mechanism? You know, is
that we are going to apply for a grant, let's say nihr one. I'm just
saying. Example, or is that you are giving. IHeart is giving funding to the
students. So I don't know which one is that and what is needed from us if we say
yes. 
IIzzy Burke

22:47

And Chelsea, I'd be happy to jump in here if you like, because this is sort of,
the funding opportunity itself is coordinated through the national iHeart team. 
CChelsea Rangel

22:56

Stephanie, I might need you to update. 
IIzzy Burke

22:58

The settings in the meeting so that I can share screen, because I think. 
CChelsea Rangel

23:02

That would be helpful if I share. 
IIzzy Burke

23:03

The kind of introductory page to the application. So to begin this, it's called
the seed. Thank you. It's called the Seed program funding. And essentially this
is, you can think of it as sort of a mini grant within the larger iHeart grant,
which funds our activities. So it's allocated $20,000 to each of the five
regions for essentially creating innovative and systems level actions which can
support the planning and implementation of projects which support the goal of
increasing outreach and access to pathways programs for our native students. So
I will. 
CChelsea Rangel

23:48

Let me see. I'm going to share screen. Hopefully I can pull this up for. 
IIzzy Burke

23:51

Everyone to see in terms of the. Let's see if it's working. 
CChelsea Rangel

23:56

There we go. In terms of the actual mechanism for. 
IIzzy Burke

24:00

How this happens, the proposal itself is going to be submitted by Chelsea,
your. 
CChelsea Rangel

24:07

Hub champion, on behalf of the region. 
IIzzy Burke

24:09

So it's meant to function as essentially a project put together or, you know,
with the support of the regional membership. 
CChelsea Rangel

24:18

So it's something that's done collectively rather. 
IIzzy Burke

24:20

Than a single individual applying for funds to use. 
CChelsea Rangel

24:24

The funding does come from the iHeart national team. 
IIzzy Burke

24:27

So we'll be the ones who are reviewing the applications from each of the five
regions and providing feedback on, you know, whether or not the suggested, you
know, the proposed use of funds is feasible in terms of the kind of guidelines
for, you know, what kinds of. 
CChelsea Rangel

24:44

Projects can we fund? 
IIzzy Burke

24:45

What is the intended outcome that we want to see from these projects? It's very
open in the sense of we trust that the regions themselves can take the
initiative to figure out what. 
CChelsea Rangel

25:00

Would be the best way to increase. 
IIzzy Burke

25:01

Engagement within their region. And it's going to vary from group to
group. Like, for example, some of our regions, like the southwest region, it's
geographically much smaller. It also has a very high concentration of indigenous
students in certain areas, and it has a high number of tribal colleges and
universities compared to the east coast. So, for example, their needs are going
to differ from east coast in the. 
CChelsea Rangel

25:27

Sense of what they think is the best use of that 20,000 to reach students. 
IIzzy Burke

25:31

So some examples, you could propose a media campaign which would essentially
mean you could hire a contractor to edit and create videos with you to advertise
pathways programs across social media. You could use the funding to do strategic
planning, which could involve essentially conducting. 
CChelsea Rangel

25:55

A needs assessment within the region. 
IIzzy Burke

26:00

Creating a website resource to share information about pathways programs that
exist within your region so that you can better share information with fellow
educators, or also use that. 
CChelsea Rangel

26:09

As a tool to directly connect students. 
IIzzy Burke

26:11

To pathways programs, or even something like hosting a mentorship program to
connect students with health professionals. So in terms of parameters for how
that finding can be used, it is. 
CChelsea Rangel

26:22

Fairly open at this point. 
IIzzy Burke

26:23

In terms of, it could be virtual program, it could be an in person. 
CChelsea Rangel

26:26

Program that you want to host or. 
IIzzy Burke

26:28

Maybe something that you want to do in conjunction with a conference where you. 
CChelsea Rangel

26:33

Can send students or where there will. 
IIzzy Burke

26:35

Be students who you want to conduct outreach with. In terms of, you know, hard
rules. 
CChelsea Rangel

26:42

For where it can and cannot be applied. 
IIzzy Burke

26:44

Really, the only, the only specific thing at this point that, you know, we do
not want to apply the funds towards is to use it to pay for a, an intern or a,
like a paid position within the region. So just can't be used essentially to pay
the salary of a person conducting work for the region. 
CChelsea Rangel

27:07

But in terms of, like, if you. 
IIzzy Burke

27:08

Were hiring a contractor to produce a specific deliverable, like to produce
social media materials or hiring a contractor to conduct a needs assessment that
would be acceptable. So again, this is $20,000 that are available to use for
your region. We will be asking for updates to be submitted on progress, which
will be. 
CChelsea Rangel

27:34

Filtered to us through the hub champion. 
IIzzy Burke

27:36

But we do want to make sure part of the reason why these seed fund applications
are only submitted one per region is that we want to see that there's buy in
from the membership and that it's not just one person's. 
CChelsea Rangel

27:49

Desire for what they would like to. 
IIzzy Burke

27:50

Use that money for, but rather something that is to the benefit of as many
people, organizations as possible within the region, or something that you think
will be addressing a shared need across your region. So that's kind of a big
picture. 
CChelsea Rangel

28:08

Introduction, and again, to kind of elaborate. 
IIzzy Burke

28:10

On the timeline for funding. 
CChelsea Rangel

28:12

October 15 is when we're asking regional. 
IIzzy Burke

28:14

Hub champions to submit a proposal with. 
CChelsea Rangel

28:19

An estimated budget, in the sense of. 
IIzzy Burke

28:21

Using informed estimates about, we expect, you know, approximately this amount
to budget towards this kind of contractor or to purchase. 
CChelsea Rangel

28:28

These materials to take to a conference. 
IIzzy Burke

28:30

That sort of thing. But we also understand going into this that the timing of it
is a very tight turnaround. And that's partly because we couldn't launch. 
CChelsea Rangel

28:40

This funding initiative until we had identified our regional hub champions. 
IIzzy Burke

28:44

And ideally, you know, we are still. 
CChelsea Rangel

28:47

Working to aim for that October 15 deadline. 
IIzzy Burke

28:50

But we also know that some regions coming in, like specifically east coast,
were. 
CChelsea Rangel

28:56

Not able to meet as frequently or. 
IIzzy Burke

28:58

As regularly leading up to Chelsea's induction as our new hub champion. As some
others. 
CChelsea Rangel

29:04

Other regions might already be further along. 
IIzzy Burke

29:07

In kind of their general coordination and setup, so they're a little more
equipped to be ready to jump in and. 
CChelsea Rangel

29:16

Have a proposal essentially ready to go. 
IIzzy Burke

29:18

Because they already understand what their needs are. But we do know that in the
case of east coast specifically, we want to account for enough time for everyone
to kind of get up to speed. 
CChelsea Rangel

29:28

On where we're at as a national. 
IIzzy Burke

29:30

Collective with iHeart and also building out. 
CChelsea Rangel

29:32

Your own membership together. So we're aware of the tight timeline. 
IIzzy Burke

29:36

And Stephanie and I particularly are here. 
CChelsea Rangel

29:39

To support and work with you to. 
IIzzy Burke

29:40

Help you prepare an application that's going to align with the goals and
objectives of iHeart so that you can have a successful plan to go in. Sorry,
that was a bit of a long explanation, but, Chelsea, please do jump in if there's
anything you wanted to add to that. 
CChelsea Rangel

29:58

No, I think that was perfect. That was a great summary of what we're trying to
do. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

30:11

And one more quick question, like the application, like how many pages are
required and what other documents are needed from Chelsea so that we can support
her. 
CChelsea Rangel

30:25

We don't have a page requirement for. 
IIzzy Burke

30:27

The application, but there are two components. One is the narrative proposal of
the project, which should include essentially a timeline of how you foresee, you
know, preparing to enact this project, and then also a timeline in the sense of
how, when and how you will need funding dispersed to be able to do that. Because
essentially the funding, again, is coming. 
CChelsea Rangel

30:52

From the iHeart national team. 
IIzzy Burke

30:54

So it'll be dispersed by us, you know, as, on an as needed basis when these
expenses occur. So we want to see some forethought. 
CChelsea Rangel

31:03

Thinking into how that'll play out over. 
IIzzy Burke

31:05

The course of the proposed timeline and the project itself. In terms of the
timeline, funding will be distributed for length of one year, but the activity
itself can continue beyond just the calendar year of 2025. Oh, the link to the
instructions. Yes, I can get that shared with you all. So essentially, narrative
component explaining. And again, let me just. This is also included in the
application explanation that I'm going to share with you all. Thanks for
requesting that, Brianna. But essentially, it's including details on the goals
and desired outcomes and the scope of the project in the sense of. 
CChelsea Rangel

31:50

Scope and sense of timeline, and also. 
IIzzy Burke

31:52

In the sense of what is the desired impact. In terms of. We do understand that,
especially because east coast is a large region, the impact or the scope of your
project might not necessarily address the entire east coast, southern Plains
region. But if it's a targeted project where you know that you're going to be
focusing on a region that has needs. 
CChelsea Rangel

32:18

That you've identified, or if it's something. 
IIzzy Burke

32:20

Where you can justify, you know, why this particular, why you're keeping the
scope limited in some senses, because you want to make the most use of the
funding, that's perfectly acceptable. So including also two ideas in this
narrative for how the project could potentially be scaled up in the future,
that's, I think a big component of what we would want to see is a project that
isn't necessarily just a one off event or a one off, a single, you know, single
use kind of benefit, but something where, you know, iHeart can see this idea and
potentially with additional funding in the future, expand it or introduce it to
other regions, as well as a model for how they can similarly support their
students. 
IIzzy Burke

33:09

So really, the main points are being clear about the scope that you're proposing
for the project, introducing ideas for how it could be scaled up and outwards in
the future, and also just making sure that the proposal itself aligns with the
greater goals and objectives of iHeart, which again, are listed in the
application. If you do want to see them like verbatim, which can always be
helpful. I know when writing a grant proposal. So those components of the
narrative, and then for the budget itself, again, we understand that, you know,
at this point in time, it will probably be based off of just informed estimates
of how much you think certain components of the project will cost. And that is
okay with us because we, again, will be working very closely. 
CChelsea Rangel

33:55

With the hub champions throughout the duration. 
IIzzy Burke

33:58

Of the project to help support its implementation. 
CChelsea Rangel

34:02

So as long as those are informed. 
IIzzy Burke

34:03

Estimates, we don't need an exact amount yet, as long as you can reasonably
explain why you would allocate such and such amount for this component of the
project versus the other. But we'll be in very close and. 
CChelsea Rangel

34:20

Frequent communication with the hub champions and. 
IIzzy Burke

34:23

The regions throughout the implementation of the plan. So we'll be there to kind
of help. If there are, you know, if there are components that end up needing
to. 
CChelsea Rangel

34:32

Be adjusted as you go, that is okay. 
IIzzy Burke

34:35

We just need to be in communication with you about it. So. 
CChelsea Rangel

34:55

I think Ronnie asked how many applications will be funded? 
IIzzy Burke

35:00

We are only funding one application per region. So that does mean that for the
east coast southern Plains region, we would only be accepting one project
proposal for this region. And that's why we kind of, our intention was to kind
of have the ideas and the brainstorming happen collectively in each region and
then be filtered through the hub champion in the form of a single application
for how you'd like to spend the money. That isn't to say that, you know, you
can't propose a plan that includes, you know, multiple components that total
up. 
CChelsea Rangel

35:39

To $20,000, so long as those components. 
IIzzy Burke

35:42

Kind of work in conjunction and make sense. I think, you know, ideally what we
don't want to see is, you know, maybe, you know, 5000 over here towards. 
CChelsea Rangel

35:51

This one off event, which is completely. 
IIzzy Burke

35:52

Unrelated to this other, you know, summit or conference. And we want to put 1000
there and a thousand here and a thousand there. We would ideally like to see
that the ideas kind of work in concert with each other. 
CChelsea Rangel

36:03

But that's not to say that, you. 
IIzzy Burke

36:05

Know, you have to have one single deliverable that all the 20k is going
towards. As long as it's a plan that kind of makes sense, I guess, collectively
and addresses a collective goal, it's okay for it to kind of have different
components within it. If that addresses your question, I have. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

36:26

One more additional question. So if, let's say, the one that chose to submitted
as a champion, let's say it has three components. So let's say, and you know,
each component is kind of like implemented with Chelsea support, you know, by
some of us with the people who participate being viewed as a co investigator or
something, because I'm trying to figure out the NIH type of mechanism. So I was
wondering, so what should we, if we join, what's the word I, to help and
participate, how should we write on our own institutional document and say,
okay, this is a grand opportunity that we join as a co investigator? Is it like
that? Are we co investigator if we participate? 
IIzzy Burke

37:17

I would say, I'm not sure. I guess for your individual organization, how that
might work from our side of things, it wouldn't necessarily need to be that
level of formality where you're listed as a co investigator. What we would want
to see, I think, is if you are planning to be engaged in helping to implement
this project for our purposes, all that we really need and want to have is just
in the application. You might say that we're delegating this portion to June,
for example, to work on implementing this piece of it, really from our
perspective, for the way that, you know, oversight, I guess, of the management
of the grant would function. Ultimately, anyone who has delegated a task or
something within this project would need to just be keeping Chelsea informed of
the progress on that. 
IIzzy Burke

38:10

And then ultimately Chelsea will report back to the national team about
progress. So in terms of, like on our end, there isn't a formal need to. 
CChelsea Rangel

38:18

List you as a co PI or anything like that. 
IIzzy Burke

38:20

We kind of trust, we entrusted the regional hub champions to kind of manage. 
CChelsea Rangel

38:26

The delegation of tasks within the region. 
IIzzy Burke

38:28

So if that hopefully answers your question. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

38:30

The reason I'm asking is basically this, is that we're with the university and
I'm in tenure track, so if the fund can only be used for the project, then we're
basically subsidizing. My university paid time for this project for free, which
is what I wanted to do, but to report to my boss to say that, okay, that's the
amount of time paid by my university salary is dedicated to this. And then he
would ask me then, what's your role in this project? If I told him that I'm not
a co investigator, I get so, like, I cannot put it on a piece of paper. So our
institution, university institution, would it be, allow me to do that? Or I
don't want to impose any, you know, some policy only. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

39:20

So that's why I'm asking, like, is if we participate, would we be viewed as co
investigator or not? If yes, then I have a reason to tell my boss within my
dean, let's say, to use my university paid time for participating in this
project. So for free. 
CChelsea Rangel

39:37

Okay, I understand. 
IIzzy Burke

39:40

I can follow up with you then, about that, because I think I would probably need
to get some clarification from our rpis about, you know, how that classification
could work ultimately, from our end at least, we don't want to really impose any
barriers to people being able to participate in this project. So, you know,
ideally, we would love for you to be able to devote your time to it, if that's
something you'd like to do. So let me. 
CChelsea Rangel

40:04

Let me follow up with them about. 
IIzzy Burke

40:05

That and kind of ask if there's a policy or a default answer I can report back
to you on. 
CChelsea Rangel

40:27

And does anyone else have questions for Izzy or Stephanie regarding the grant or
the application? Okay, so if we're good, then let's go ahead and move on to. We
have kind of two objectives that we might be able to accomplish. One would be
starting on a flyer for our region to see who we can get involved in this
program, in this project. And so with the flyer, we kind of want to look at
maybe some. Something we would like to present regionally and how would we do
that, and kind of some goals that we might have for this region or some
ideas. And then the second part that we would like to try to get to is maybe a
little bit brainstorming for the seed funding. If there's a. 
CChelsea Rangel

41:29

If you have an idea of how we can use this funding to start a project, we can
start pulling some ideas together. So if you want to add, I'm going to put some
information on flyer. So we need flyer, what we want to do with it. And I
brainstorming, I guess I can go first and tell you what I kind of think or what
I've seen in my local area of what we can do as part of a flyer. I think in this
area, for North Carolina, I'm in the western, like the most western part of the
state, Waynesville and western Carolina university is a decent sized university,
and with them, I've been able to kind of see native american students interested
in healthcare. It's interesting because we don't have a lot of healthcare
providers in this area. 
CChelsea Rangel

42:42

We do have a native american hospital in Cherokee. And then as far as that,
there's really no visibility in my area for native communities, except for in
Cherokee. And I've only lived in the area for about two, three, four years,
close to four years now. And as being someone who's not Cherokee, you know,
I've, it was really hard connecting to just anything in the area native
related. My kids are native or navajo, and I really don't have anything to show
them that's native american. I think one time my daughter came back from school
and she was like, oh, there's this navajo girl who goes to this other
school. And I was amazed to find that. And then, so just visibility in my area
is just really lacking. We don't have any billboard signs. 
CChelsea Rangel

43:38

There's not a lot of places to put billboard signs out here. Even social media
wise, if you're nothing following some native american group, you're not getting
any information. And even as far as powwows go, I don't see a lot of visibility
for them. I know that they're going on. I just don't know when or where they
happen. And then stemming from that, I've also lived in Maryland and
Pennsylvania. And even when I was going to school there about, I'd say roughly
seven years ago, there wasn't any information on grants or scholarships
available to me going through school. I actually did a deep dive in the Internet
one time, and I found a grant program. I think it was like three rivers, and
they helped find some books and stuff for me to go to school. 
CChelsea Rangel

44:35

And then other than that was indian health services. I did an internship with
them, and the only reason I knew about that was because my mom worked
there. Other than that, I would say, for me, visibility would be something I
would like to see more of in the area, and that could be with a flyer or even
with the project that we're going to be working on. 
SSonya Frazier

45:03

Chelsea, can I add to what you just spoke about? All right, so working on the
Indigenous Nurses association, that's exactly what we have been discussing, is
how to get more indigenous nurses, especially representation, because for
indigenous nurses, we only make up 0.4 of the healthcare profession. And what
we've been trying to do is collaborate with nursing schools. And right now, we
have collaborated with Northeastern State University, where they got a grant to
recruit native students and retain them. It's almost like a full scholarship
grant for them to go into the nursing program and in that community. And that's
what we're trying to help promote in a lot of our Oklahoma nursing schools
because of that lack of visibility and also to what you spoke to in our
organization. 
SSonya Frazier

46:11

We also include our allies, not only our indigenous nurses, but our allies as
well, because our allies, they're wanting to learn about our culture and
history. And with our history, you know, Oklahoma had the highest number of
boarding schools. And we still see all those effects today, physically,
mentally, emotionally and spiritually. And so all those health disparities that
we see today is still connected to all of that. And that's part of our history
in our state right now. So we're really advocating to get that true history into
our educational system and also into our nursing school so that they know. And
so we really encourage our nursing schools to read the federal investigation for
the American Indian Boarding school report, volume one and two. And we're trying
to work with the curriculum agency. 
SSonya Frazier

47:17

I can't remember the name of it right now, the top of my head. But we're wanting
to make that mandatory in the nursing program because I always start with our
creation stories, because our creation stories begin on this land on Turtle
island, and that's where it all should begin. But that's what we do is just
advocate to get us on all of these nursing boards, just to get us visible,
because we are still invisible. But those are some of the things that we are
doing as well. Like I said, I work a lot with our JLM program for an
organization called Regalia making relatives, where we are going into the school
and providing that cultural connection for our native youth. Because boarding
schools did their job here in Oklahoma. They did their job. 
SSonya Frazier

48:18

They disconnected our people and our youth from our history and our culture. And
so we're working really hard to bring that back to our native youth because
they're the ones that are asking for it. So this coming Saturday, we're actually
doing a ribbon skirt making class for them. And we have some other projects that
are scheduled, like beating beaded graduation cap, beaded lanyards. And then
we're going to allow them to do a showcase during their j om banquet so that
they can display their artwork that they did, because we want to give them that
pride. We want to give that back to them. And those are just some of the
projects that we have going on. So we're always busy doing something. But that's
just what I wanted to share with you. 
DDe Leon, Breanna

49:10

I would like to add on to that in terms of visibility, and this is something
I've talked to norma a little bit about, too, is that a lot of these pathway
programs are for people who are citizens or descendants of federally recognized
tribes. And there's a bunch of us who are also from state recognized tribes or
who are the tribes might not even be recognized anymore, helping to create some
of the visibility. Those of us who do not qualify for any of these IHS funded
programs, I think there's a fair amount of also state recognized tribes in the
southern and eastern part of the US. So I think that people to incorporate non
federally recognized tribes in that visibility. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

49:57

I have one additional idea. So when we visited the local IHS clinics in a
hospital, we talked with two CEO's in charge of two clinics and one
hospital. But one thing we found in common, they both said, was that they didn't
have enough funding to offer competitive salaries to hire the doctors and
nurses. And some of them, they would prefer native american doctors and nurses
and pas, so they don't have it. So what I was thinking, I'm a healthy economist,
so I'm thinking more about numbers. So what I'm thinking is that, is there any
way we can find in our region, east coast and southern plain region to find IHS
publicly available report and see what's the like, how many vacancies they have,
what's the specialties that they need so that they cannot have them. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

51:01

But those are vacancies so that we have quantified measure of the quantity and a
specialty that our IHS system need. And then once we know the need, then we can
go to the communities, the colleges, and talk to the produce the flyers, and
talk to the native students in the colleges and say, hey, we need your people
need you. And this is a need. We need er doctor in this region. We need a nurse
in another place. So I feel like that might be a better need and demand that
kind of logic. 
CChelsea Rangel

52:02

Thank you, June. I think that's a great idea. I did know, I do know that there
are a lot of, it's interesting because the southwest, where the schools are on
the east coast and in the, you know, the southern part of the state are really
good medical schools. And so we do already see a lot of like southern, like New
Mexico, Arizona, Alaska, California. Those natives are coming over there to be
educated. And so why aren't our native groups seeking those local institutes for
education? And how come we don't know about our own needs? Why is it that the
other regions know about our need, but we don't? So I think that's a really
good, that would be an interesting project to dig into. And then, Brianna, I
really liked how you talked about the state recognized tribes. 
CChelsea Rangel

52:57

I've recently learned about that being here in North Carolina, I don't really
know how many other state recognized tribes there are that we're missing out
because there's also a need for, you know, that population to be spoken to, and
I'd love to see how we can do that. I also need more information about kind of
how their. Their tribe plays into the whole role of, I guess, the federal
recognition and, you know, what kind of support can we offer them or, you know,
is it that, you know, they need to be more visible? But what I'm also hearing is
that we need, you know, visibility with Sonia talking about, you know, bringing
our culture to our. To our students. So far, we've talked about more, I think,
like, college age students, maybe some high school. 
CChelsea Rangel

53:45

Is there anyone who would be interested in younger, middle school, elementary,
or are we going to. Should we focus on higher education? 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

53:55

I feel like we should inspire our students as early as possible so plant a seed
in their mind and heart. 
SSonya Frazier

54:13

We had even discussed doing like, a. A career week where we have different
native american professionals come in so that the students can hear what they do
for a living. We could have a doctor, maybe a nurse, a lawyer, you know,
plumber, whatever. But that was an idea that were working on for next semester,
is to bring more indigenous professionals in for, like, a career. Career week
for our students. 
CChelsea Rangel

54:54

Okay, well, we are at our 02:00 mark. Thank you, everyone, for. For
sharing. Let's go ahead and talk about the next meeting. Is this a good time for
us to continue meeting Mondays around 01:00 or do you think we need to have a
different time or a different day? 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

55:15

It works for me. 
IIzzy Burke

55:16

Yeah, Monday. 
CChelsea Rangel

55:18

Okay. 
IIzzy Burke

55:21

And thank you, Ronnie, for sending. Sending the links in the chat. I'm copying
all those into the meeting notes to make sure we have them. And I'll also send a
copy. This meeting minutes document just lives in the Google Drive, so it'll
continue to be a place where we can keep track of ideas, especially for seed
funding. It'll be a living document, and I'll make sure everyone gets a copy of
the link after this meeting closes out. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

55:49

Can you send us the Google link so that we can go in? 
IIzzy Burke

55:54

Oh, I can share it once again here in the chat before we leave the call, but
I'll also follow up over email to make sure everyone can access it. 
SStephanie Dobos (sheher)

56:11

So are we planning to meet this time next week on the 30th at 01:00? 
CChelsea Rangel

56:21

Yeah, let's go ahead and run that down. So this coming week, everyone will be
receiving a survey, and then we're also going to be building up a flyer so
you'll probably be receiving that as well, and we'll give you more information
as that develops. 
IIzzy Burke

56:44

All right, guys, thank you. Thank you so much, Chelsea, for taking the lead. 
CChelsea Rangel

56:49

Thank you, everyone, for coming. 
JJune Zhao (OUHSC)

56:51

Thank you. 
IIzzy Burke

56:52

All right, we'll see you soon.
