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. Little Priest Tribal College (LPTC) serves the Winnebago Tribe in Nebraska. The project leaders are conducting a cohesive set of activities that inform the design of a cyberinfrastructure upgrade, with the ultimate goal of completely upgrading the college’s cybersecurity profile. The project will entail the key activities of: assessing the current cybersecurity profile; identifying potential vulnerabilities; consultation with experts who are conversant with the profiles at similarly situated TCUs; and determining specific actions and equipment necessary to rebuff hackers and avoid data failures. At the end of the planning period, LPTC should have a concrete plan upon which to develop a stronger cybersecurity network that will serve the college’s advancing STEM instructional and research capacity.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）的一个目标是提高为美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（STEM）教学和研究能力。扩大这些机构的研究能力，可以扩大学生在STEM领域追求具有挑战性、回报丰厚的职业的机会，为当地相关领域的研究提供机会，并鼓励教师群体超越传统课堂，寻求智力和专业发展。该项目直接符合这一目标，允许该机构的教师和管理人员设计和制定一个全面的计划，以改善和扩大STEM教学。小祭司部落学院（LPTC）服务于内布拉斯加州的温尼贝戈部落。项目负责人正在开展一系列有凝聚力的活动，为网络基础设施升级的设计提供信息，最终目标是彻底升级学院的网络安全概况。该项目将包括以下主要活动：评估当前网络安全概况；识别潜在的漏洞；与熟悉情况类似的技科的专家协商；并确定回绝黑客和避免数据故障所需的具体行动和设备。在规划期结束时，LPTC应该有一个具体的计划，在此基础上开发一个更强大的网络安全网络，以服务于学院不断提高的STEM教学和研究能力。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。
