A goal of the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP) is to increase the intellectual leadership of TCUP institutions so that they can address scientific or engineering needs or interests, specifically for their tribes or communities, or broadly for the Nation. The TCUP Enterprise Advancement Centers (TEA Centers) strand allows TCUP institutions to capitalize on their investments in STEM instructional and research capacity. This project aligns directly with that goal through the renewal of the TEA Center for Community Marine Research at Northwest Indian College. The center is affiliated with the existing Salish Sea Research Center, housed at the college, and partners with the Lummi Natural Resources Department (LNR) of the Lummi Nation. The focus of the center's work is research and educational outreach regarding marine matters of the waters of the Salish Sea off the Pacific northwest coast of the United States. Knowledge gained through this work contributes to community understanding of the marine ecosystem and is used by the LNR in managing their aquatic resources to protect water quality and to ensure a safe and sustainable fish and shellfish harvest.The TCUP Enterprise Advancement Center for Community Marine Research will pursue its intent through two goals: focus on community-identified research projects using molecular and analytic approaches that increase current capacity of water quality monitoring and the safety and sustainability of seafood; and provide analysis of biotoxins in seafood and Salish Sea waters for Lummi Nation and Northwest Indian College.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）的目标是提高TCUP机构的智力领导，以便他们可以解决科学或工程的需求或兴趣，特别是针对其部落或社区，或为国家而言。 TCUP企业发展中心（TEA CENTRES）允许TCUP机构利用其对STEM教学和研究能力的投资。该项目通过续签西北印度学院的茶中心社区海洋研究中心直接与该目标保持一致。该中心隶属于该学院现有的萨利什海研究中心，并与卢米国家的卢米自然资源部（LNR）合作。该中心工作的重点是有关美国太平洋西北海岸萨利什海水域的海洋事务的研究和教育宣传。 Knowledge gained through this work contributes to community understanding of the marine ecosystem and is used by the LNR in managing their aquatic resources to protect water quality and to ensure a safe and sustainable fish and shellfish harvest.The TCUP Enterprise Advancement Center for Community Marine Research will pursue its intent through two goals: focus on community-identified research projects using molecular and analytic approaches that increase current capacity of water quality monitoring and the safety and sustainability of seafood;并为卢米国家（Lummi Nation）和西北印度学院（Northwest Indian College）提供海鲜和萨利什海水中的生物毒素的分析。该奖项反映了NSF的法定任务，并使用基金会的知识分子优点和更广泛的影响审查标准，被认为值得通过评估。
