The goal of the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is to support Native-serving institutions of higher education in building their science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) instructional and research capacities. The Pukoa Kani Aina project, housed at the University of Hawai'i-West O'ahu, aligns with TCUP goals through the enlistment of a series of activities designed to strengthen the STEM instructional capacity at UHWO and improve student outcomes in STEM. Using a pipeline approach, the project enrolls high school students in summer bridge programs that enhance their readiness for college and continues working with them through the use of a student cohort model as they move through college. UHWO faculty across disciplines collaborate in developing innovative STEM courses designed to more fully engage students and foster knowledge and skills required in today's STEM workforce. Additionally, these cross-disciplinary groups are formulating a five-year plan for developing new STEM programs to be offered at UHWO.This institutional capacity building project at the University of Hawai'i-West O'ahu is designed to establish an institution-level change that positively impacts Native Hawaiian students' success in STEM degrees and careers. Pukoa Kani Aina project goals are to 1) build a transdisciplinary, sustainable STEM ecosystem within the university; 2) streamline pipelines from K-12 schools and community colleges into UHWO STEM programs, graduate studies, and STEM careers; and 3) map a five-year plan for the development of STEM degrees, concentrations, and certificates to be offered at UHWO. The project convenes partners from K-12, University of Hawai'i colleges, and industry in the development of STEM pathways into UHWO and beyond by establishing a summer bridge program with innovative math and science courses and fostering a student cohort in the freshman through senior year that supports students' retention and success in STEM. Additionally, faculty members are working in transdisciplinary professional learning communities to revise curriculum to incorporate innovations in pedagogy and content believed to better engage and support students in STEM degrees.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.

部落学院和大学计划（TCUP）的目标是支持为土著服务的高等教育机构建立他们的科学、技术、工程和数学（STEM）教学和研究能力。Pukoa Kani Aina项目位于夏威夷西奥胡岛大学，通过开展一系列旨在加强世卫组织STEM教学能力和提高学生STEM成绩的活动，与TCUP目标保持一致。该项目采用管道方式，招收高中生参加夏季桥梁项目，以增强他们对大学的准备，并在他们完成大学学业的过程中，通过使用学生队列模型继续与他们合作。世卫组织跨学科教师合作开发创新的STEM课程，旨在更充分地吸引学生，培养当今STEM劳动力所需的知识和技能。此外，这些跨学科小组正在制定一项五年计划，以开发将在世卫组织提供的新的STEM项目。夏威夷大学西奥胡岛分校的这个机构能力建设项目旨在建立一个机构层面的变革，对夏威夷原住民学生在STEM学位和职业生涯中的成功产生积极影响。Pukoa Kani Aina项目的目标是：1)在大学内建立一个跨学科、可持续的STEM生态系统；2)简化从K-12学校和社区学院到世界卫生组织STEM项目、研究生学习和STEM职业的管道；3)为世界卫生组织提供的STEM学位、专业和证书的发展制定五年计划。该项目召集了来自K-12、夏威夷大学学院和行业的合作伙伴，通过建立一个包含创新数学和科学课程的夏季桥梁项目，并在大一到大四期间培养一批学生，以支持学生在STEM领域的保留和成功。此外，教师们正在跨学科专业学习社区工作，修改课程，以纳入教学法和内容的创新，以更好地吸引和支持学生获得STEM学位。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。
