A goal of the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is to increase the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research capacities of specific institutions of higher education that serve the Nation's indigenous students. Expanding the research capacity at these institutions expands the opportunities for students to pursue challenging, rewarding careers in STEM fields, provides for research studies in areas that may be locally relevant, and encourages a faculty community to look beyond the traditional classroom for intellectual and professional growth. This project aligns directly with that goal, and moreover will increase the efficacy of partnerships between TCUP institutions and their mainstream university or private sector partners.The awardee will convene a 2016 Leaders' Forum for NSF-TCUP project leaders. At this workshop, TCUP leaders will share experiences and collaboratively develop strategies to improve their programs with an emphasis on building partnerships. Collaborations, whether between programs existing at an individual TCU or with other institutions, are an important tactic to increase the impact these programs and opportunities for their students. During the two-day Leaders' Forum participants will immerse in formal sessions during which they will share and explore innovative best practices related to building collaborations with other institutions and partnerships between programs in order to improve the STEM educational and research capacity at TCUs. In addition, participants will discuss workforce challenges, opportunities, and the economic impact of TCUP on the tribal communities served. A secondary focus of the workshop will target dissemination strategies and opportunities that will allow faculty and staff at TCUs to reach a broader audience. The two-day workshop will focus on practices for successful partnerships between tribal colleges and mainstream universities or research facilities. Participants will participate in formal sessions during which they will hear presentation and share their experiences and ideas regarding current collaborative initiatives at tribal colleges. Participants will actively engage in discussions focusing of the issues and possibilities of partnering with major research institutions. Additional conversations will target the opportunities of collaborative programs involving multiple funding agencies, which could significantly increase the overall impact of a project.

部落学院和大学方案(TCUP)的一个目标是提高为本国土著学生服务的特定高等教育机构的科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)教学和研究能力。扩大这些机构的研究能力扩大了学生在STEM领域追求具有挑战性的、有回报的职业的机会，提供了可能与当地相关的领域的研究性学习，并鼓励教师群体将目光投向传统课堂之外的智力和专业成长。该项目与这一目标直接一致，而且将提高TCUP机构与其主流大学或私营部门合作伙伴之间的伙伴关系的效力。获奖者将召开2016年NSF-TCUP项目领导人论坛。在这次研讨会上，TCUP领导人将分享经验并协作制定战略，以改善他们的计划，重点是建立伙伴关系。无论是在单个TCU现有的项目之间还是与其他机构之间的合作，都是增加这些项目的影响和学生机会的重要策略。在为期两天的领导人论坛期间，与会者将沉浸在正式会议中，在此期间，他们将分享和探索与其他机构合作和项目之间的伙伴关系相关的创新最佳实践，以提高TCU的STEM教育和研究能力。此外，与会者还将讨论劳动力挑战、机会以及TCUP对所服务部落社区的经济影响。研讨会的次要重点将是传播战略和机会，使TCU的教职员工能够接触到更广泛的受众。为期两天的研讨会将集中讨论部落学院与主流大学或研究机构之间成功建立伙伴关系的做法。参加者将参加正式会议，在此期间，他们将听取介绍，并分享他们关于部落学院目前的合作倡议的经验和想法。与会者将积极参与讨论，重点讨论与主要研究机构合作的问题和可能性。更多的对话将针对涉及多个资助机构的合作项目的机会，这可能会显著增加项目的整体影响。
