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. Expanding the STEM curricular offerings at these institutions expands the opportunities of their students to pursue challenging, rewarding careers in STEM fields, provides for research studies in areas that may be culturally significant, and encourages a community and generational appreciation for science and mathematics education, and sustainability of capacity gains is significantly enhanced by retaining the talent of credentialed STEM faculty. This project aligns directly with that goal.The coronavirus pandemic of 2020 caused major disruptions to institutions of higher education. However, for tribal colleges and universities, whose core operating funds are directly aligned with student enrollment, drops in enrollment equate to loss of funding. To mitigate against detrimental effects on STEM instructional capacity, this award will support the position of one full-time STEM faculty member, as well as other resources to maintain Keweenaw Bay Ojibway Community College’s STEM program as it recovers from the impact of the pandemic.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）的目标是增加科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的指示和研究能力，这些指导和研究能力是为国家土著学生提供服务的高等教育机构。扩大这些机构的STEM课程产品扩大了学生追求挑战的机会，奖励STEM领域的职业，为可能具有文化意义的领域的研究提供研究，并通过保留凭证的STEM疗养者的才能来增强能力上的科学和数学教育的社区和世代欣赏，并为能力上的可持续发展提供了显着增强。该项目直接与该目标保持一致。 2020年的冠状病毒大流行造成了高等教育机构的重大干扰。但是，对于部落学院和大学而言，其核心运营资金与学生入学直接一致，因此入学率与资金损失相同。为了减轻对STEM教学能力的有害影响，该奖项将支持一名全职STEM教师的地位，以及其他资源，以维持Kewionaw Bay Ojibway社区学院的STEM计划，因为它从大流行的影响中恢复过来。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，反映了通过基金会的Intellighual Inductual and Imit和Sparrit和Sparrit和Broadia的评估，以表现出珍贵的支持。
