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10所公立大学和学院中的第二大。一个为期两年的城市机构，我们提供高质量的文科和21世纪世纪的职业计划，以夏威夷原住民（NH）和多民族学生和社区的多元化人口。KCC以朱莉娅·卡皮奥拉尼女王的名字命名，她的座右铭是“Kulia i ka nuu "？“追求最高。“这句格言是学院的标准？的愿景和使命作为一个学习为中心的机构。同样，它激发了拟议的团队合作项目，因为我们逐步将学生转移到更具挑战性的科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）水平。这个新的团队合作建议的重点是生命科学是在NH ahupuaa（啊谁poo-ah-ah）在其中心接地。ahupuaa是一个传统的土地划分运行沿着银行的一条小溪，并从山区延伸到大海，已成为一个部分的夏威夷文化数百年。它提供了一个知识框架，成为NH学生的绝佳试金石。这个建议也使用键？积木？把夏威夷的科学背景化从山到海的生态系统。KCC已经从以前的NSF赠款中受益，以建立一个强大的STEM基础设施，整合了全面的，以研究为基础的，STEM学生支持和成功系统，在这个TEAM-UP项目中提出。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，逐步推进NH学生，包括残疾学生，在生物学，生态学，生物技术，生态工程和技术;目标2）实施NH实践社区，将NH学生、导师和本科研究人员与教师、研究人员和社区合作伙伴联系起来。该项目有十个目标，以实现这些目标，在提案中详细说明，和四个主要成果：1）创建一个全面和可持续的参与者支持系统为175 NH学生; 2）在生命科学的ASNS学位完成和/或转移到生物科学领域在UH马诺阿或UH希洛140 NH学生; 3）100名NH学生在UHM或UHH完成STEM学士学位; 4）与NH社区、私营部门和州政府建立新的伙伴关系，生命科学领域竞争性研究的机会将为KCC Life未来的可持续发展和增长奠定坚实的基础，物理科学计划。
