Fort Belknap College (FBC) is a tribally controlled community college located on the Fort Belknap Indian Reservation in northcentral Montana. The overall goals of the proposed project are to increase student participation and success in FBC?s STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) courses and degree programs. This Phase II project will build upon the documented successes of FBC?s Phase I project, while addressing persistence challenges identified through the collection and analysis of Phase I evaluation data. In order to achieve the project?s dual goals, project personnel will carry out an integrated implementation strategy designed to accomplish eight student-centered objectives associated with: (1) enrollment in STEM degree programs, (2) participation in STEM summer academies, (3) performance on college placement exams, (4) participation in research and internship programs, (5) performance in STEM gatekeeper courses, (6) retention rates, (7) graduation numbers, and (8) transfer numbers. Primary project strategies for accomplishing these objectives include: (1) extensive outreach and recruiting programs, (2) pre-college summer STEM academies, (3) summer research and internship opportunities, and (4) supplemental instruction and tutoring for STEM courses. In addition to supporting these student-centered project activities, project funds also will be used to support: (1) the establishment of a data- driven annual review process for STEM programs, (2) comprehensive mathematics curriculum reform, and (7) ongoing faculty development opportunities. Evaluation activities will provide project personnel with the information needed to effectively monitor the project?s progress, improve its ongoing effectiveness, assess its success in achieving project goals and objectives, and communicate its outcomes to a variety of stakeholders.

贝尔纳普堡学院（Fort Belknap College）是一所由部落控制的社区学院，位于蒙大拿州中北部的贝尔纳普堡印第安人保留地。 拟议项目的总体目标是增加学生的参与和FBC的成功？的STEM（科学，技术，工程和数学）课程和学位课程。 这个第二阶段项目将建立在FBC的成功记录？在第一阶段的项目中，同时解决通过收集和分析第一阶段评估数据确定的持久性挑战。 为了实现该项目？为了实现双重目标，项目人员将实施综合实施战略，旨在实现与以下相关的八个以学生为中心的目标：（1）STEM学位课程的入学率，（2）STEM暑期学院的参与率，（3）大学入学考试的表现，（4）研究和实习计划的参与率，（5）STEM看门人课程的表现，（6）保留率，（7）毕业编号;（8）转学编号。 实现这些目标的主要项目策略包括：（1）广泛的推广和招聘计划，（2）大学预科夏季STEM学院，（3）夏季研究和实习机会，以及（4）STEM课程的补充指导和辅导。除了支持这些以学生为中心的项目活动外，项目资金还将用于支持：（1）建立数据驱动的STEM项目年度审查流程，（2）全面的数学课程改革，以及（7）持续的教师发展机会。 评价活动将为项目人员提供有效监测项目所需的信息？评估项目的进展，提高其持续的有效性，评估其在实现项目目标和目的方面的成功，并将其结果传达给各种利益相关者。
