Promoting Indigenous Models of Assessment (PIMA) is ensuring that urban American Indian people secure, retain, and advance in high-quality employment in Tucson and Pima County, Arizona.
The Tucson Indian Center — with support from government agencies, Partners In Health United States, and other partners — owns, drives, and leads a local data ecosystem that, at its heart, will have a comprehensive database that builds on traditional knowledge systems and utilizes data reflecting the priorities of urban American Indian people in Tucson and Pima County. Data from the ecosystem will center Tucson’s urban Indigenous community in decision making and inform long-term collaborations with local partners, including the Pima County Health Department and Pima County Community & Workforce Development.
PIMA is a collaboration among:
- Partners in Health United States
- Pima County Health Department
- Pima County Community & Workforce Development
- Tucson Indian Center
