Kapiolani Community College (KCC) is the second largest of 10 public universities and colleges in the University of Hawaii (UH) System. A two-year urban institution, we provide high quality liberal arts and 21st century career programs to a diverse population of Native Hawaiian (NH) and multi-ethnic students and communities. KCC bears the name of Queen Julia Kapiolani, whose motto was "Kulia i ka nuu,"? "To Reach for the Highest." This motto sets the standard for the College?s vision and mission as a learning-centered institution. Likewise, it inspires the proposed TEAM-UP project as we move students progressively to more challenging science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) levels. This new TEAM-UP proposal focuses on Life Sciences that are grounded in the NH ahupuaa (ah-who-poo-ah-ah) at its center. An ahupuaa is a traditional division of land running along the banks of a stream and extending from the mountains to the sea that has been a part of the Hawaiian culture for hundreds of years. It provides an intellectual framework that serves as an excellent touch stone for NH students. This proposal also uses key ?building blocks? of NH knowledge, to contextualize the science of Hawaii?s mountain to sea ecosystems. KCC has benefited from previous NSF grants to build a strong STEM infrastructure that integrates the comprehensive, research-based, STEM Student Support and Success System proposed in this TEAM-UP project.Goals: The project has two goals: Goal 1) To implement a new STEM Learning Continuum that progressively advances NH students, including those with disabilities, in biology, ecology, biotechnology, eco-engineering, and technology; Goal 2) To implement a NH Community of Practice that connects NH students, mentors, and undergraduate researchers with faculty, researchers, and community partners. The project has ten objectives to achieve these goals, detailed in the proposal, and four major outcomes: 1) creation of a comprehensive and sustainable participant support system for 175 NH students; 2) completion of the ASNS degree in Life Sciences and/or transfer to biological science fields at UH Manoa or UH Hilo by 140 NH students; 3) completion of a STEM baccalaureate degree at UHM or UHH by 100 NH students; and 4) new partnerships with the NH community, the private sector and state government, and opportunities for competitive research in the life sciences will provide a strong foundation for future sustainability and growth of the KCC Life and Physical Sciences program.

卡皮奥拉尼社区学院(KCC)是夏威夷大学(UH)系统中10所公立大学和学院中第二大的。作为一所两年制的城市学院，我们为夏威夷原住民(NH)和多种族学生和社区提供高质量的文科和21世纪职业课程。KCC的名字是朱莉娅·卡皮奥拉尼女王，她的座右铭是“Kulia I ka Nuu，”？“要达到最高境界。”这句格言为学院树立了标准？S作为一所以学习为中心的机构的愿景和使命。同样，随着我们将学生逐步提升到更具挑战性的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)水平，它也激发了拟议的团队项目。这一新的团队提案侧重于以NH ahupuaa(啊-谁-谁-屎-啊-啊)为中心的生命科学。Ahupuaa是一种传统的土地分割，沿着溪流的两岸，从山脉延伸到海洋，数百年来一直是夏威夷文化的一部分。它提供了一个智力框架，作为NH学生的一块极好的试金石。这项提案还使用了关键的构建块？借助NH知识，将夏威夷的科学？S山到海的生态系统联系起来。KCC受益于之前的NSF拨款，以建立一个强大的STEM基础设施，整合了这个团队项目中提出的全面的、基于研究的STEM学生支持和成功系统。目标：该项目有两个目标：目标1)实施一个新的STEM学习连续体，逐步促进NH学生，包括残疾学生，在生物、生态学、生物技术、生态工程和技术方面的进步；目标2)实施NH实践社区，将NH学生、导师和本科生研究人员与教职员工、研究人员和社区合作伙伴联系起来。该项目有十个目标来实现这些目标，具体内容见提案和四个主要成果：1)为175名NH学生创建一个全面和可持续的参与者支持系统；2)完成ASNS生命科学学位和/或由140名NH学生转到UH Manoa或UH Hilo生物科学领域；3)由100名NH学生在UHM或UHH完成STEM学士学位；以及4)与NH社区、私营部门和州政府建立新的伙伴关系，并为生命科学领域的竞争性研究提供机会，这将为KCC生命和物理科学计划未来的可持续性和发展奠定坚实的基础。
