少数民族素质教育（QEM）网络正在寻求支持，以使其能够实施第二个领导力发展研究所（LDI），该研究所将支持和鼓励美国原住民和阿拉斯加原住民教职员工更广泛地参与其家乡机构的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教育。基于第一届领导力发展学院的经验教训和整体成功，第二届领导力发展学院将扩大到包括通过第二届领导力发展学院的申请和审查过程选择的夏威夷原住民教职员工。这一总体目标和一系列具体目标将通过一个由三部分组成的领导力发展研究所和。拟议的研修课程由三部分组成，包括2008年8月为期五天的研修课程（第一期）；2009年2月为期两天的研修（第二期）；并于2009年8月举办为期五天的研修课程（第三期）。该计划的参与者必须目前在部落学院或大学（TCU）、阿拉斯加土著服务机构或夏威夷土著服务机构工作，并且必须是联邦认可的部落/实体的注册或附属成员，或者证明长期致力于和参与TCU、阿拉斯加土著服务机构或夏威夷土著服务机构的STEM教育。会议间隙与参与者的交流和互动将通过视频会议、Listserv和一个专门的网站进行。

The Quality Education for Minorities (QEM) Network is requesting support to enable it to implement a second Leadership Development Institute (LDI) that will support and encourage broader participation by Native American and Alaska Native faculty and staff in efforts to enhance science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) education at their home institutions. Based upon the lessons learned and the overall success of the first Leadership Development Institute, the second Institute will be expanded to include Native Hawaiian faculty/staff selected through the application and review process for the second LDI.This overall goal and a set of specific objectives will be achieved through a Program consisting of a three-part Leadership Development Institute and. The proposed three-part Institute will consist of a five-day Institute (Session I) in August 2008; a two-day Institute (Session II) in February 2009; and a five-day Institute (Session III) in August 2009. Participants in the Program must be currently employed at a Tribal College or University (TCU), an Alaska Native-serving institution, or a Native Hawaiian-serving institution and must be an enrolled or affiliated member of a federally recognized tribe/entity or have a demonstrated long-term commitment to and involvement in STEM education at TCUs, Alaska Native-serving Institutions, or Native Hawaiian-serving institutions. Communication and interaction with participants in between sessions will be through videoconferencing, Listserv, and a dedicated web site.
