Abstract: The Older Americans Act (OAA) outlines care for AI/AN/NH Elders through the Title VI Programs, which include nutrition, disease prevention and health promotion, and caregiver support services. Title VI Part A, the Indian Program, serves federally recognized tribes with at least 50 members ages 60 years and above; Part B, the Native Hawaiian Program, serves public or nonprofit private organizations that serve Native Hawaiians and represent at least 50 individuals ages 60 years and above; Part C, the Native American Caregiver Support Program, serves all programs with Parts A and B. In 2014, the Administration for Community Living (ACL) conducted an evaluability assessment of the Title VI Programs in order to gain understanding of the characteristics, context, and intended outcomes of the nutrition, supportive, and caregiver support services and best approaches for a full-scale evaluation of the Title VI Programs. Through the assessment, a 20-member stakeholder advisory group, consisting of representatives from the National Indian Council on Aging, the National Resources Center on Native American Aging, as well as Title VI program grantees, provided input and guidance on the best way to evaluate the Title VI Program in a culturally responsive way. The goal of the evaluation is to learn more about how Tribes organize and manage their Title VI programs; and how the programs better the lives of the older American Indian, Alaska Native, and Native Hawaiian populations and to answer the following key questions: • How are the Title VI Programs implemented at the national and tribal levels? • What is the effect of Title VI Programs, nationally and by tribe or tribal groups? • Do Title VI Programs that rely on Title VI funds alone have a different impact than programs that have money from other programs or agencies?
