Navajo Technical University (NTU) is one of the nation's leading tribal colleges and a leader in delivering academic and research programs for the region and for the Navajo Nation. Tribal colleges regularly work in cooperation and in collaborative organizations. In 2017, NTU facilitated the development of a tribal consortium to build cooperative support and technology services. The tribal consortium includes Navajo Technical University, Crownpoint, NM, Dine College, Tsaile, AZ, Tohono O'odham Community College (TOCC), Sells, AZ, and A:shwi College and Career Readiness Center (ACCRC), Zuni, NM. Although Native American students have access to cultural, language, vocational, and Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) programs, campus and student connectivity options are expensive and limited to cellular or broadband capacities below national standards. Students are not well connected to the internet and to the larger research and education community; there is a fundamental lack of internet connectivity with sufficient bandwidth to successfully participate in the ever-increasing opportunities of online courses and programs. This project improves campus network performance in support of education and research, by increasing external connectivity to each campus by connecting to NTU as a regional aggregator.The project addresses distance education challenges by implementing an advanced wireless testbed to deliver homework gap solutions for local students and faculty leverages a strong existing regional relationship with the Northern Arizona University, a leader in tribal programs and services. The project emphasizes meetings to map needs to requirements, followed by design and training workshops, which benefit the regional Native American communities.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.

纳瓦霍技术大学(NTU)是美国领先的部落学院之一，在为该地区和纳瓦霍民族提供学术和研究项目方面处于领先地位。部落学院经常在合作和合作组织中开展工作。2017年，台大促进了部落联合体的发展，以建立合作支持和技术服务。该部落联盟包括纳瓦霍技术大学、Crownpoint、新墨西哥州、Dine College、Tsaile、AZ、Tohono O‘odham社区学院(TOCC)、Sales、AZ，以及A：Shwi学院和职业准备中心(ACCRC)，Zuni，NM。尽管美洲原住民学生可以参加文化、语言、职业和科学、技术、工程和数学(STEM)课程，但校园和学生连接方案昂贵，而且仅限于低于国家标准的蜂窝或宽带容量。学生没有很好地连接到互联网和更大的研究和教育社区；根本缺乏具有足够带宽的互联网连接，无法成功参与不断增加的在线课程和项目的机会。该项目通过作为区域聚合器连接到NTU来增加每个校园的外部连接，从而提高了校园网的性能以支持教育和研究。该项目通过实施先进的无线测试床来解决远程教育挑战，为当地学生和教职员工提供家庭作业差距解决方案利用与北亚利桑那大学的强大现有地区关系，该大学是部落计划和服务的领导者。该项目强调会议以映射需求，随后是设计和培训研讨会，使地区美洲原住民社区受益。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。
