ABSTRACT
The American Indian Higher Education Consortium (AIHEC) is conducting a grant writing workshop for Tribal College and University (TCU) personnel. The workshop focuses on the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship and the Advanced Technological Education programs and is part of a larger effort by AIHEC to expand TCU participation in NSF programs beyond the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP). During the 2-day workshop, participants (TCU faculty, staff, and administrators) hear presentations from NSF program officers about the two programs, and the elements of a successful proposal. In addition, representatives with currently funded Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship and ATE grants discuss their respective projects, including the planning, implementation, and impact on their students and enhancements to the institution's academic program. A key outcome of the workshop is an expected increase in the successful submission of proposals by TCUs. The workshop contributes toward the development of an effective model for providing technical support to TCU personnel leading to a greater number of TCUs participating in NSF programs and contributes to the ongoing effort to promote broader participation of the nation's underserved and underrepresented minorities in STEM education and professions.

The American Indian Higher Education Consortium conducted a grant
writing workshop for Tribal Colleges and Universities’ (TCUs) personnel
focusing on the Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship and the Advanced Technological Education programs. This workshop was part of a larger effort on the part of AIHEC to expand TCU participation in NSF programs beyond the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP).
During the 2-day workshop, participants (TCU faculty, staff, and
administrators) heard presentations from NSF program officers about the two programs, and the elements of a successful proposal. In addition, representatives from community with currently funded Robert Noyce Teacher Scholarship and Advanced Technological Education (ATE) grants spoke about their respective projects, including the planning, implementation, and impact on their students and enhancements to the
educational environment.
A key outcome of the proposed workshop was an increased awareness on the part of TCU faculty and staff of these important NSF funding opportunities. This workshop has also helped to contribute to the ongoing effort to promote broader participation of the nations underserved and underrepresented minorities in STEM education and professions. We anticipate an increase in the successful submission of proposals by TCUs to these two programs.
A total of eighteen faculty and staff from thirteen different TCUs attended the
workshop.
