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 the institution's faculty and administrators to design and develop a comprehensive plan for improving and expanding STEM instruction. Navajo Technical University (NTU) serves the Navajo Nation. NTU has partnered with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC), and Chattanooga State Community College (CSCC) for developing its strategic plan towards developing a Radiation Health Physics Associate Degree program. NRC has an ongoing relationship with NTU and will bring in professionals in the field with rich experience and knowledge in training, program designing, course standardization, certifications and current practices in the radiation physics area. CSCC has successful experience in planning and implementing the radiation protection program. NTU has assembled a team that not only has immense experience in the field of radiation physics, but also has new program building experience.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）的目标是增加科学，技术，工程和数学（STEM）的教学和研究能力和研究能力的高等教育机构，这些机构为国家土著学生提供服务。扩大这些机构的研究能力扩大了学生追求具有挑战性，在STEM领域中奖励职业的机会，为可能在本地相关的领域提供研究，并鼓励教师社区超越传统的知识和专业成长。该项目直接与该目标保持一致，允许该机构的教职人员和管理人员设计并制定一项全面的计划，以改善和扩展STEM指导。纳瓦霍技术大学（NTU）为纳瓦霍国家服务。 NTU已与核监管委员会（NRC）和查塔努加州立社区学院（CSCC）合作制定其战略计划，以制定放射健康物理学副学士学位计划。 NRC与NTU有着持续的关系，并将在训练，计划设计，课程标准化，认证和当前实践方面的丰富经验和知识带入该领域的专业人员。 CSCC在计划和实施辐射保护计划方面拥有成功的经验。 NTU召集了一个团队，该团队不仅在辐射物理学领域拥有丰富的经验，而且还具有新的计划建设经验。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并被认为是值得通过基金会的知识分子和更广泛影响的评估评估标准通过评估来获得支持的。
