The Administration on Aging (AoA) is currently funding three Resource Centers for Older Indians, Alaska Natives, and Native Hawaiians.  These centers provide culturally competent health care, community-based long-term care, and related services. They serve as the focal points for developing and sharing technical information and expertise for Native American organizations, Native American communities, educational institutions, and professionals working with elders.

University of North Dakota: Since 1994 the AoA has funded the National Resource Center on Native American Aging, University of North Dakota. A culturally sensitive staff and national steering committee govern the Resource Center. The resource center provides education, training, technical assistance, and research. It also assists in developing community-based solutions to improve the quality of life and the delivery of related support services to the Native elderly population. A major project of this Resource Center has been the development of an elderly needs assessment tool to assist tribes in planning for elder care services. University of North Dakota Resource Center

University of Alaska-Anchorage: AoA funded the National Resource Center on Native American Aging at the University of Alaska-Anchorage in 2003. Initially, this Center will:

• Empower Native communities to incorporate traditional and contemporary health practices that have the potential to effectively support and treat elders within community health care systems
• Provide technical information to promote culturally sensitive and functionally appropriate services to maintain social well-being
• Provide an arena for discussions about the increasing problems of elder abuse to help Native communities in developing their own plans to reduce and control occurrences.

University of Hawaii: The National Resource Center for Native Hawaiian Elders was established in 2006 under a grant from the Administration on Aging to the University of Hawaii School of Social Work. With the nation's largest enrollment of Native Hawaiian students it has as its mission the development and transmission of knowledge for the betterment of all Native Hawaiians. The Resource Center for Native Hawaiian Elders seeks to continue this commitment with a focus on improving the well-being of Native Hawaiian elders by forging stronger collaborative relationships between the University, Native Hawaiian and gerontology communities.  University of Hawaii Resource Center
