Impact on Existing Race & Ethnicity Fields
The 2024 AIAN Expansion includes 464 new tribes/ethnicities that have been added to the existing American Indian/Alaska Natives (AIAN) race group in CCCApply. Each new ethnicity has been assigned a field value (code) that will store in the Race Ethnicity Full data field <race_ethnic_full>.
