This award is funded under the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (Public Law 111-5). The project will replace an existing modular building, currently used to house Northwest Indian College?s (NWIC) science laboratories, with a new research building. The replacement will house the campus? laboratories for research in environmental science. NWIC serves many Indian Tribes throughout a large geographic region encompassing parts of Washington and Idaho, including tribes in the extended Coast Salish group. The main campus is at Lummi Nation near Bellingham, Washington. The laboratory facility will support faculty and student research in environmental research on topics such as: hypoxia and water quality in Bellingham Bay, phytoplankton community dynamics, wetland and shoreline ecology, salmon habitat restoration, and the impacts of potential sea level rise. In addition to providing infrastructure for research, the research facility will increase the number of undergraduate students exposed to and involved in research. The student body is primarily Native American and the project will help increase the engagement of members of this under-represented group in environmental science.

该奖项是根据2009年《美国复苏与再投资法》（公法111-5）资助的。该项目将替换一座现有的模块化建筑，目前用来用新的研究大楼容纳西北印度学院（NWIC）科学实验室。 替代者会容纳校园吗？环境科学研究实验室。 NWIC在整个地理区域中为许多印度部落提供服务，包括华盛顿和爱达荷州的部分地区，其中包括扩展海岸萨利什集团的部落。主要校园位于华盛顿贝灵汉附近的卢米国家。实验室设施将支持有关诸如诸如：贝灵汉湾（Bellingham Bay）的缺氧和水质，浮游植物社区动态，湿地和海岸线生态学，鲑鱼栖息地恢复以及潜在海平面上升的影响的主题的环境研究的教师研究。 除了提供研究基础设施外，研究机构还将增加接受研究和参与研究的本科生的数量。 学生团体主要是美洲原住民，该项目将有助于增加这个代表性不足的环境科学群体的参与。
