TCU CI Planning Workshop Series

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，而且将提高TCUP机构与主流大学或私营部门合作伙伴之间的伙伴关系的效率。美国印第安人高等教育联盟（AIHEC）将组织和召集一组TCU STEM和信息技术工作人员，以制定并将网络基础设施（CI）规划纳入机构规划流程。 该项目将招募，培训和支持TCU教师，IT专业人员和CI规划工作的管理人员，以支持STEM领域的增长。该小组将与技合单位合作，参与规划讲习班活动，其中包括评估STEM计划和传播与信息需求，将技合单位团队与主题专家联系起来，并促进参与技合单位制定传播与信息战略计划。该项目将帮助技合单位确定潜在的资金来源，并协助拟订有竞争力的提案。 该奖项反映了NSF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。

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 and Information Technology Staff to develop and incorporate cyberinfrastructure (CI) planning into institutional planning processes. The project will recruit, train, and support TCU faculty, IT professionals, and administrators in CI planning efforts to support growth in STEM fields. The team will work with TCUs to participate in planning workshop activities, which includes evaluating STEM plans and CI needs, linking TCU teams with subject matter experts, and facilitating the development of CI strategic plans from participating TCUs. The project will help TCUs identify potential sources of funding and assist in the development of competitive proposals. The aim is to foster the collaboration and planning needed to support and strengthen TCU STEM research and education programs.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.
