Building EPSCoR Partnerships Between Research Universities and Tribal Colleges: The North Dakota Experience

该提案旨在支持举办研讨会，以促进和加强部落学院与 EPSCoR 州办事处之间的直接互动和伙伴关系。 北达科他州 EPSCOR 联合项目总监和部落学院联络计划协调员将促进 EPSCoR 州办公室和部落学院聚集在一起的研讨会。为期两天半的研讨会将重点关注部落大学校长和 EPSCoR 州办公室之间的想法和计划需求的交流。 我们期望本次研讨会将有助于增加和加强部落学院与 EPSCoR 州计划之间的现有合作伙伴关系。更广泛的影响是通过 EPSCoR 州办公室和部落学院之间的合作，为部落大学生开发教育和学习的途径。研讨会将由经验丰富的专业设计和报告机构负责，该机构也拥有 EPSCoR 的经验，并将把这些知识带到本次研讨会上。研讨会的目标是：1。在代表部落学院、EPSCoR 管辖人员和 NSF EPSCoR 人员的所有参与者之间发起对话和讨论。2．以北达科他州为模式，探索部落学院和 EPSCoR 如何有效合作，加强代表性不足群体的人力资源开发。3．与 NSF EPSCoR 和 TCUP 代表协商，制定部落学院和 EPSCoR 辖区的建议和指南，以加强和发展其他项目和合作。
