Schottstaedt, MD (1917‒2005). The NHHD was funded by a grant from the U.S. Department of Education and administered by the National Library of Medicine. Later, the Native Health Research Database (NHRD), which covers current materials, was funded by grants from the Indian Health Service and the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. In 2007, NHHD and NHRD were merged to become the Native Health Database. In 2013, HSLIC received $35,000 from the National Library of Medicine (NLM) to update and promote the NHD. The UNM Health Sciences Library and Informatics Center continues to maintain the Native Health Database for the use of researchers, students, health care practitioners and community members who have an interest in American Indian Health. https://hscssl.unm.edu/nhd/
