The mission of the NSF Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is to support the strengthening of STEM education and research capacity at Native-serving institutions. The project titled "Developing the Next Generation of STEM Leaders: 2019 TCUP Leaders' Forum and Professional Development for NSF-TCUP Eligible Institutions" aligns well with this mission. Administered by Sisseton Wahpeton Community College, project personnel organize, design and deliver two types of professional development events for TCU personnel interested in developing their leadership, grant-related skills, and STEM programs. The first event, the Tribal Leaders' Forum (TLF), provides a venue for TCU personnel to participate in formal sessions in which they explore best practices and innovative approaches to STEM research, instruction and evaluation. The second event is a three-day technical assistance workshop offered to TCU personnel that addresses proposal preparation and project management. Follow up technical assistance is offered as well.The goals of the TLF are to strengthen STEM leadership skills in TCUP personnel, to promote STEM education and research at TCUs, to strengthen and expand partnerships between TCUs and mainstream institutions, and to develop strategies for enhancing workforce potential in tribal communities. The goals of the TA workshops are to provide targeted support to TCUs in preparing proposals to secure NSF funding and to develop skills in administering grant projects. A book reporting on the project events will disseminate findings from the work to TCU personnel and other interested stakeholders.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.

NSF部落学院和大学计划(TCUP)的使命是支持加强土著服务机构的STEM教育和研究能力。该项目名为“培养下一代STEM领导者：2019年TCUP领导人论坛和符合NSF-TCUP资格的机构的专业发展”，与这一使命非常契合。由西塞顿·瓦佩顿社区学院管理，项目人员为TCU人员组织、设计和提供两种类型的职业发展活动，以培养他们的领导力、与赠款相关的技能和STEM项目。第一个活动是部落领导人论坛(TLF)，为TCU人员提供了参加正式会议的场所，在这些会议上，他们探讨了STEM研究、指导和评估的最佳做法和创新方法。第二个活动是为技术合作股人员举办的为期三天的技术援助讲习班，讨论提案准备和项目管理问题。TLF的目标是加强TCUP人员的STEM领导技能，促进TCU的STEM教育和研究，加强和扩大TCU与主流机构之间的伙伴关系，并制定战略，提高部落社区的劳动力潜力。助教讲习班的目标是为TCU准备提案提供有针对性的支持，以确保NSF的资金，并培养管理赠款项目的技能。一本报告项目事件的书将向TCU人员和其他感兴趣的利益相关者传播工作结果。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
