Current collaboration initiatives: University of Arizona, Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University & the Tohono O odham Community Action (TOCA). Please contact us to explore venues of collaboration!
19 Our Challenges We are still without policy for sharing, disseminating and data management in research (i.e. No institutional review board). We require the implementation of a community-based Participatory research protocol. Until we are able to develop our institutional research capacity for our TOCC-LGOS, access to funding for the purpose of research will be limited.
