Sitting Bull College (SBC) STEM programs are poised to make dramatic impacts in producing Native American scientists. Major academic enhancements and increases in student enrollment programs have been established directly through the current TCUP grant and because of foundation provided by TCUP-supported activities. We propose a comprehensive initiation plan to build on our existing strengths through innovative programs, outreach, and a focus on research and technology education. The SBC TCUP project will directly affect 90 Undergraduate Researchers, 75 community professionals, 75 middle school students and 15 middle school teachers, five faculty members, one administrative person, two laboratory technicians, one secretarial position, and numerous students enrolling in SBC STEM courses.To address emerging and established needs of our students and community, we propose the following goals (1) to enhance student abilities with scientific research methodologies through increasing research skills by providing authentic research opportunities by fully integrating student research into STEM courses, (2) to provide the community with a technologically-advanced workforce by producing cohorts of graduates with advanced training in biotechnology, pollution science, geospatial technology, GeoSciences, and wildlife conservation and training local professionals, K-12 teachers, and community members in applied science, and (3) to increase interest in STEM fields by a wider variety of students through innovative recruitment and retention programs (including Middle School Science Academy), increased online curricula, cohort building activities, a Native Science track, and investigating a Master?s Program.

坐牛学院 (SBC) STEM 项目有望对培养美国原住民科学家产生巨大影响。主要的学术改进和学生入学计划的增加是通过当前的 TCUP 拨款直接建立的，并且是由于 TCUP 支持的活动提供的基础。我们提出了一项全面的启动计划，通过创新计划、推广以及对研究和技术教育的关注来增强我们现有的优势。 SBC TCUP 项目将直接影响 90 名本科研究员、75 名社区专业人员、75 名中学生和 15 名中学教师、5 名教职人员、1 名行政人员、2 名实验室技术员、1 名秘书职位以及众多参加 SBC STEM 课程的学生。为了满足学生和社区的新兴和既定需求，我们提出以下目标 (1) 通过增加研究来提高学生的科学研究方法能力 通过将学生研究充分融入 STEM 课程，提供真实的研究机会，从而提高技能，(2) 通过培养一批受过生物技术、污染科学、地理空间技术、地球科学和野生动物保护方面高级培训的毕业生，为社区提供技术先进的劳动力，并培训当地专业人员、K-12 教师和应用科学领域的社区成员，以及 (3) 通过更广泛的领域提高对 STEM 领域的兴趣 通过创新的招生和保留计划（包括中学科学院）、增加的在线课程、队列建设活动、本土科学轨道和研究硕士课程来吸引学生。
