About this Work

This grant proposal was developed as part of my doctoral work at Radford University and submitted in February 2026. The Navajo Nation Clinical Laboratory Science Workforce Pipeline Program proposes a five-year, $5,812,950 initiative to address persistent laboratory workforce shortages across Navajo Nation healthcare facilities. The primary audience is federal grant reviewers at the Indian Health Service with expertise in tribal health and workforce development. To address this audience, I employed a formal, evidence-based writing style grounded in national workforce data, federal compliance language, and community-centered framing consistent with Indigenous health equity principles. The proposal reflects my dual identity as a Navajo woman and laboratory scientist, and demonstrates my ability to integrate professional writing, scientific knowledge, public health analysis, and cultural competency into a single, cohesive funding document.
