Description: Because of the Medicaid expansion to childless adults and the subsidies to make private health insurance more affordable under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA), a significant portion of the justice-involved population will gain eligibility, for the first time, for Medicaid and/or private health insurance coverage through the Health Insurance Marketplace.  Justice-involved individuals are seven times as likely as the general population to experience mental illness, substance abuse disorders, infectious disease, and chronic health conditions, making reentry from jails and prison an especially critical juncture.  For individuals reentering communities after incarceration, disruptions in medical care and treatment contribute to increased rates of reincarceration, increased drug use, and poor and costly health outcomes, including a 12-fold increase in the risk of death in the first 2 weeks after release.  State and local criminal justice systems can play an important role in ensuring justice-involved populations receive assistance and support in applying for health coverage, which can help divert individuals from the criminal justice system, reduce recidivism, and also provide a continuum of care for individuals preparing to reenter back into their communities.  This solicitation seeks a national training and technical assistance provider to assist select state and local criminal justice systems in maximizing the opportunities for expanded health care coverage under the PPACA, as well as develop resources to assist the broader criminal justice field nationwide.  As a result of improved coverage, state and local justice systems may experience considerable cost savings by utilizing expanded coverage options under Medicaid and the Marketplace.

Description: The Zuni participated in the process to identify, evaluate, monitor, and equally participate in the long-term management of all historic properties, sacred areas, and locations of traditional Zuni cultural use that are within the area affected by the operations of Glen Canyon Dam.  The Tribe?s participation in the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program (GCDAMP) is essential to ensuring the tribal values are represented at the various program functions and to ensure effective government-to-government consultation on federal undertakings that may affect resources important to the Tribe.  In the 2008, the Zuni Tribe conducted its first official year of implementation of the monitoring protocols and this work has been conducted annually ever since.  This proposal anticipates the continued implementation of the Zuni monitoring protocols between 2014 through 2017.  The activities to be conducted between 2014 and 2017 listed are below.
Specific Tasks
A.  Conduct a monitoring river trip to observe the resources defined in the tribal protocol (Zuni traditional cultural properties, ancestral (archaeological) sites, petroglyph sites, animals, insects, minerals, plants, shrines, trails, springs, rivers, and water)
B.  Define the quantitative and qualitative measurements to be documented for these resources as specified in the extant protocols (see Zuni long term monitoring protocols submitted to Reclamation in 2008).
C.  Report any instances of impacts to resources that would require an emergency response.
