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 for 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. This project aligns directly with that goal, allowing the institutions to design and develop a comprehensive plan for improving and expanding STEM instruction, and moreover may serve as a model and impetus for similar institutions of higher education to develop collaborative degree programs. It further supports the participating colleges’ missions to provide STEM instruction that is grounded in traditional culture and values specific to the communities they serve.The TCUP Cyber Consortium Advancing Computer Science Education (TCACSE) improves the computer science and cybersecurity training for regional workforces in the communities served by Turtle Mountain Community College (TMCC), United Tribes Technical College (UTTC), Windward Community College (WCC), Sitting Bull College (SBC), and Little Priest Tribal College. The project is building and enhancing computer science curricula that improve the fundamental skills of critical thinking, problem-solving, coding, and collaboration used in academic or research activities, and building capacity to support education and research in computing related fields of national interest, such as cybersecurity, artificial intelligence, data science, and computer science education. The collaborative project is bridging the gap between Tribal education, workforce, and U.S. cybersecurity needs by building a supportive model for cyber education.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。机构为学生提供了在 STEM 领域追求具有挑战性、回报丰厚的职业的机会，提供可能具有文化意义的领域的研究，并鼓励社区和世代对科学和数学教育的欣赏。为实现这一目标，各机构可以设计和制定全面的计划来改进和扩展 STEM 教学，此外，还可以作为类似高等教育机构开发合作学位项目的典范和动力，它进一步支持参与学院的使命：提供基于其服务社区特有的传统文化和价值观的 STEM 教学。TCUP 网络推进计算机科学教育联盟 (TCACSE) 为 Turtle Mountain 服务的社区的区域劳动力改善计算机科学和网络安全培训社区学院（TMCC）、联合部落技术学院（UTTC）、迎风社区学院（WCC）、坐牛学院（SBC）和小牧师部落学院该项目正在建立和加强计算机科学课程，以提高批判性思维的基本技能，学术或研究活动中使用的问题解决、编码和协作，以及支持国家利益的计算相关领域的教育和研究的能力建设，例如网络安全、人工智能、数据科学和计算机科学教育。缩小差距通过建立网络教育的支持模型，平衡部落教育、劳动力和美国网络安全需求之间的关系。该奖项反映了 NSF 的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
