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

该提案旨在支持一个讲习班，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联合项目主任和部落学院联络项目协调员将促进将EPSCOR州办事处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讨论部落大学校长和EPSCoR州办事处之间的想法和项目需求交流。期望这次研讨会将有助于增加和加强部落学院与EPSCoR州项目之间现有的伙伴关系。更广泛的影响是通过EPSCoR州办事处与部落学院之间的合作，为部落大学生发展教育和学习途径。一个经验丰富的专业设计和报告机构将为讲习班提供便利，该机构以前也有EPSCoR的经验，并将把这些知识带到讲习班。讲习班的目标是：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。以北达科他州为例，探索部落学院和EPSCoR如何有效地合作，以加强代表性不足群体的人力资源开发。在与NSF EPSCoR和TCUP代表协商的基础上，制定部落学院和EPSCoR辖区的建议和指导方针，以加强和发展其他项目和合作。
