Sydelle Harrison’s research interests aim to identify and address gaps in public health translation at the Tribal level in the Pacific Northwest. Her current community-based research focuses on investigation of indigenous environmental health priorities and capacity-building with the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation (CTUIR). On campus, she works to understand factors surrounding cultural competency of university researchers working with a Pacific Northwest Tribe. Harrison would like to use a mixed-methods approach in her future work to identify strengths for public health capacity-building within Tribal nations.
