TCU Cyberinfrastructure Partnership Meeting

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，并将提高TCUP机构与其主流大学或私营部门合作伙伴之间的伙伴关系的效率。美国印第安高等教育联盟（AIHEC）将组织和召集一组TCU STEM研究和教育利益相关者以及国家CI计划代表参加由德克萨斯州高级计算中心（TACC）主办的为期2天的会议。会议将为与会者提供机会，分享和探讨利用国家传播和信息资源发展和维持研究和教育伙伴关系的领先做法和创新方法。其目的是促进支持和加强TCU STEM研究和教育计划所需的合作。会议的主要目的是成立一个TCU网络基础设施工作组，通过跨TCU的伙伴关系以及与国家CI生态系统的主要成员的伙伴关系，提高学校的CI能力。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为值得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来支持。

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, and moreover will increase the efficacy of partnerships between TCUP institutions and their mainstream university or private sector partners.The American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) will organize and convene a group of TCU STEM research and education stakeholders and national CI program representatives for a 2-day meeting hosted by the Texas Advanced Computing Center (TACC). The meeting will provide opportunities for participants to share and explore leading practices and innovative approaches to developing and sustaining research and education partnerships employing national CI resources. The aim is to foster the collaboration needed to support and strengthen TCU STEM research and education programs. A primary purpose of the meeting is to form a TCU Cyberinfrastructure Working group to advance CI capabilities among the schools through cross-TCU partnerships and also partnerships with leading members of the national CI Ecosystem.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.
