9353199 Young American Indians are the least represented of all minorities in Science, Engineering and Mathematics (SEM). The overall goal of this project is to develop a cohesive interactive American Indian Alliance and network to increase substantially the quality and quantity of American Indians receiving baccalaureate degrees and graduate degrees in SEM. The initial step in achieving this goal will be to sponsor a special conference to seek input from both the Indian community and the SEM community. A major goal of the conference will be to identify and select specific options to build a cohesive alliance. A key aspect will be the agreed upon selection of a lead institution or institutions to administratively manage the American Indian Alliance. In addition, conference attendees will provide valuable input regarding innovative programs to enhance matriculation of American Indian students at the following three critical transition points: (1) high school to college (tribal/community/four-year); (2) from two-year college (tribal/community) to four-year SEM degree-granting institutions; and (3) from four-year institutions to doctoral degree granting programs in SEM fields. Invitations to the conference will be sent to no less than 45 participating post-secondary institutions in 14 western states with significant American Indian population. Of the 45 post-secondary institutions, 23 are tribally controlled community colleges. A major goal of the alliance will be to empower the network of tribal colleges to establish a central office to administer SEM programs for Indian students. Examples of some of the project activities that will be considered to be implemented by participating institutions in the alliance are as follows: pre-college summer bridge programs; summer research enrichment experiences; faculty exchange programs between two-year (i.e., tribal/community) college and four-year SEM institutions; curriculum development; graduate school prepar ation; tribal college adopt-a-school programs; and telecommunications networking. Future activities of the American Indian AMP project will impact American Indians at the levels of pre-college, undergraduate, and graduate education. The American Indian Alliance is designed to capitalize on the strengths of existing Indian programs, SEM education and research programs, and NSF funded programs in the western states.

小行星9353199 美国印第安人是所有少数民族中在科学，工程和数学（SEM）中代表性最低的。 该项目的总体目标是建立一个有凝聚力的互动美洲印第安人联盟和网络，以大幅提高美洲印第安人获得学士学位和研究生学位的质量和数量。 实现这一目标的第一步将是主办一次特别会议，征求印度社区和SEM社区的意见。 会议的一个主要目标将是确定和选择建立一个有凝聚力的联盟的具体方案。 一个关键方面将是商定选择一个或多个牵头机构来行政管理美洲印第安人联盟。 此外，与会者将提供有关创新方案的宝贵意见，以提高美国印第安学生在以下三个关键过渡点的入学率：（1）高中到大学（部落/社区/四年制）;（2）两年制学院（部落/社区）到四年制SEM学位授予机构;（3）从四年制机构到SEM领域的博士学位授予计划。 参加会议的邀请函将发送给美国印第安人人口众多的14个西部州的不少于45所参与的高等教育机构。 在45所中学后教育机构中，有23所是部落控制的社区学院。 该联盟的一个主要目标将是授权部落学院网络建立一个中央办公室来管理印度学生的SEM项目。 一些项目活动的例子将被认为是由参与联盟的机构实施如下：大学预科夏桥计划;夏季研究丰富的经验;教师交流计划之间的两年制（即，部落/社区）学院和四年制SEM机构;课程开发;研究生院准备;部落学院采用学校方案;和电信网络。 美洲印第安人AMP项目的未来活动将在大学预科、本科和研究生教育层面对美洲印第安人产生影响。 美国印第安人联盟旨在利用现有的印第安人项目，SEM教育和研究项目以及NSF资助的西部各州项目的优势。
