项目摘要

Through the Tribal College and University (TCU) CI Facilitation initiative the American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) collaborates with the 37 TCUs nationwide to enable the identification, refinement, adoption, and integration of cyberinfrastructure resources into the TCU campus information technology environment in support of STEM applications. Specific activities including campus cyberinfrastructure facilitation, cyberinfrastructure engagement, strategy and policy development, and CI workforce and professional development activities to support the advancement and use of cyberinfrastructure resources and technologies for crosscutting mission-driven applications such as Native language, climate science, and geographic information systems. Communities of practice, starting with the IT Directors/CIOs and STEM faculty communities provide collaboration and capacity building opportunities within the TCUs. The initiative’s flexibility allows each TCU to tailor project activities to their individual science application, campus information technology, and faculty and student needs. Access to better cyberinfrastructure resources accelerate the exposure and adoption of new technologies and techniques including data storage policies and technologies that preserve data sovereignty and reflect cultural data access requirements. The CI-enabled STEM research at the TCUs provide education and workforce development opportunities to the underrepresented American Indian and Alaska Native populations serving many first-generation students. The use of cyberinfrastructure resources to support, preserve, and promote Native American culture, languages, and heritage empowers the TCU community, including students, faculty, and staff, to become leaders grounded in indigenous values.This effort is also supported by National Discovery Cloud for Climate (NDC-C) resources.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.

通过部落学院和大学（TCU）CI促进计划，美洲印第安高等教育财团（AIHEC）与全国37个TCUS合作，以促进Cyberinfratucture资源的识别，改进，采用和整合到TCU校园信息技术环境中，以支持STEM应用。特定的活动，包括校园网络基础设施，网络基础设施参与，战略和政策制定以及CI劳动力以及专业发展活动，以支持网络基础设施资源的进步和使用，以跨越任务驱动的应用程序，例如本地语言，气候科学和地理信息系统。从IT董事/CIO和STEM教师社区开始的实践社区提供了TCU内的协作和能力建设机会。该计划的灵活性使每个TCU都可以为其个人科学应用程序，校园信息技术以及教职员工和学生需求量身定制项目活动。访问更好的网络基础设施资源可以加速新技术和技术的接触和采用，包括数据存储策略和维护数据主权并反映文化数据访问要求的技术。 TCUS的CI-STEM研究为代表性不足的美洲印第安人和阿拉斯加人口提供了教育和劳动力发展机会，为许多第一代学生提供服务。使用网络基础设施资源来支持，保存和促进美国原住民文化，语言和遗产，包括学生，教师和员工在内的TCU社区的能力，成为基于土著价值观的领导者的能力优点和更广泛的影响审查标准。
