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

鉴于土著学生在STEM高等教育中的代表性不足，以及在高等教育机构中土著教员的代表性不足，AISES认识到有必要支持为土著服务的部落和非部落机构获得STEM研究资金。为此，AISES将与国家科学基金会(NSF)合作，开发并主办NSF格兰茨基研讨会，该研讨会将于2023年10月19日至21日在华盛顿州斯波坎举行的AISES全国会议会前日举行。NSF资助金研讨会的目标是通过研讨会为来自部落学院和大学(TCU)和为美洲原住民服务的非部落机构(NASNTI)的教员提供NSF赠款提案开发方面的专业发展，以及AISES全国会议上的专业发展和网络建设机会。这一研讨会可能会影响为本土学生服务的机构的STEM研究基础设施。教师学员将了解NSF项目，以及如何制定建议以满足他们的研究和教学需求。教师将能够让他们的学生接触STEM研究，这将有助于他们在STEM招聘和留住他们。长期目标是提高原住民和为原住民服务的教职员工寻求新资金支持STEM研究机会的能力。鉴于原住民学生、专业人士和教师在STEM领域的代表性严重不足，AISIS认为现在是专注于加强原住民服务机构的STEM研究基础设施的关键时刻，以推动原住民教职员工更多地代表STEM研究，从而增加对原住民学生中STEM持久性的影响。该奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

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.
