The NWTEC provides research, surveillance, training and technical assistance to the 43 federally recognized tribes of the Portland Area of Indian Health Service.

At the direction of the Board of Delegates, the NWTEC performs research and surveillance programs pertaining to health and quality of life of American Indians and Alaska Natives.

In addition, the NWTEC has funding for projects from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) and the National Institutes of Health (NIH), along with other federal agencies and non-governmental foundations.

It reviews all research that uses IHS facilities, data, staff resources, or funding and that affects members of the Portland Area American Indian and Alaska Native (AI/AN) population and tribes.
