Pre-application Training and Technical Assistance
ANA, in collaboration with regional training and technical assistance providers, implements three types of free training and technical assistance to prospective applicants across the U.S and the Pacific territories: project development training; pre-application training; and pre-application electronic technical assistance.

Pre-application Electronic Technical Assistance (ETA)
Pre-application ETA is designed to provide individualized assistance to prospective ANA applicants through phone, email and fax.

To be eligible for pre-application ETA, applicants must have completed 75% of the ANA application. Please contact us at 1-888-221-9686 or via email at anaeastern@namsinc.org to register for pre-application ETA. At the time of registration, a letter will be requested from your tribe or non-profit organization. The letter should contain a short summary of the project, description of community involvement, project development and pre-application trainings attended, and the primary contact.

Eligibility for Technical Assistance
ANA Eastern Region offers free training and technical assistance workshops to Tribes and eligible Native non-profit organizations in Region I. There is a limit of 2 employees per eligible organization and 3 employees per Tribe. Although there is no registration fee for the trainings, attendees are responsible for all of their own travel and per diem costs. Early registration is recommended because trainings are subject to cancellation due to low enrollment. Please do not make travel arrangements until you receive confirmation from us.

Independent grant writers must fax us a signed letter on organization stationary to (571) 323-2101 prior to the training in order to attend.
