Conference: Grantsmanship Workshop at American Indian Science and Engineering Society 2023 National Conference

鉴于STEM高等教育中的土著学生和高等教育机构中的土著教师代表性不足，AISES认识到需要支持土著服务部落和非部落机构获得STEM研究资金。为此，AISES与美国国家科学基金会（NSF）合作，将于2023年10月19日至21日在华盛顿斯波坎斯波坎举行的AISES全国会议的会前举办NSF研讨会。NSF granitary研讨会的目标是通过研讨会提供NSF赠款提案开发的专业发展，以及在AISES全国会议上的专业发展和网络建设机会，从部落学院和大学（TCU）和美洲原住民服务非部落机构（NASNTI）的教师。该研讨会将可能影响为土著学生服务的机构的STEM研究基础设施。教师参与者将了解NSF计划，以及如何制定提案，以解决他们的研究和教学需求。教师将能够让学生接触STEM研究，这将有助于他们在STEM的招聘和保留。长期目标是提高本地和本地服务教师的能力，以寻求新的资金来支持STEM研究机会。鉴于STEM领域的土著学生、专业人员和教师的代表性严重不足，AISES认为，现在是一个关键时刻，要把重点放在加强STEM研究基础设施的土著-服务机构，以提高土著教师对STEM研究的代表性，从而提高土著学生对STEM持久性的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并被认为是值得的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提供支持。

Given the underrepresentation of Native students in STEM higher education and Native faculty at higher education institutions, AISES recognizes the need to support Native serving tribal and non-tribal institutions in securing STEM research funding. To that end, AISES in collaboration with the National Science Foundation (NSF) will develop and host an NSF Grantsmanship Workshop to be held during the pre-conference day of the AISES National Conference in Spokane, Washington, October 19-21, 2023. The goal of the NSF Grantsmanship Workshop is to provide professional development in NSF grant proposal development through the Workshop, as well as the professional development and network building opportunities at the AISES National Conference, to faculty from Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) and Native American-Serving Non-Tribal Institution (NASNTI). This workshop will potentially impact the STEM research infrastructure at institutions serving Native students. Faculty participants will learn about NSF programs and how to develop proposals to address their research and teaching needs. Faculty will be able to expose their students to STEM research, which will help in their recruitment and retention in STEM. The long term goal is to improve the capacity for Native and Native-serving faculty to pursue new funding to support STEM research opportunities. Given the significant underrepresentation of Native students, professionals, and faculty in STEM fields, AISES believes now is a critical time to focus on strengthening the STEM research infrastructure of Native-serving institutions to move the needle on increasing representation of STEM research by Native faculty and thereby increasing the impact on STEM persistence among Native students.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.
