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, allowing tribal college students and faculty to engage in international research while developing as a cohort of scientists with share experience.Salish Kootenai College will facilitate the travel for up to sixteen students and up to eight faculty to participate in research experiences at the Organization for Tropical Studies at the Las Cruces Biological Research Station, in Costa Rica.

部落学院和大学方案的一个目标是提高为全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和回报的职业的机会，为可能与当地相关的领域提供了研究，并鼓励教师社区超越传统课堂寻求智力和专业成长。该项目直接与这一目标相一致，允许部落大学的学生和教师参与国际研究，同时发展成为一个科学家群体，分享经验。Salish Kootenai学院将为多达16名学生和多达8名教师提供旅行便利，参加哥斯达黎加拉斯克鲁塞斯生物研究站热带研究组织的研究经验。
