A goal of the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is to increase the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research capacities of specific institutions of higher education that serve the Nation's indigenous students. Extending the instructional capabilities to the local pre-college population is a significant element and broader impact of the central work. This project aligns directly with that goal, and moreover will increase the body of knowledge on the efficacy of instructional methodologies that appeal to Native students and increase their interest and success in STEM studies and careers.Tribal Nations Research Group (TNRG) serves as the lead for a study that would describe the context and capture the impact of an informal STEM instructional experience, the Sunday Academy Model (SAM). SAM has been supported largely by NSF for almost two decades and has been conducted by the tribal colleges of North Dakota, with participation of North Dakota State University (NDSU) and the University of North Dakota (UND). The program has provided STEM instructional enrichment activities for on- and near-reservation students and teachers, and has engaged approximately 2000 students. The study will be pursued through mixed methods that include focus groups, measures of student academic success and pursuit, and control comparisons.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

部落学院和大学计划 (TCUP) 的目标是提高为国家土著学生服务的特定高等教育机构的科学、技术、工程和数学 (STEM) 教学和研究能力。将教学能力扩展到当地大学预科生是中心工作的重要组成部分和更广泛的影响。该项目与该目标直接一致，而且将增加对教学方法有效性的了解，吸引本土学生，提高他们对 STEM 学习和职业的兴趣和成功。部落国家研究小组 (TNRG) 担任牵头者此项研究描述了非正式 STEM 教学体验的背景并捕捉其影响，即周日学院模型 (SAM)。 近二十年来，SAM 一直得到 NSF 的大力支持，并由北达科他州的部落学院开展，北达科他州立大学 (NDSU) 和北达科他大学 (UND) 也参与其中。 该计划为预订和接近预订的学生和教师提供了 STEM 教学丰富活动，并吸引了大约 2000 名学生。 该研究将通过混合方法进行，包括焦点小组、学生学业成功和追求的衡量以及对照比较。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
