This $166,946 National Science Foundation project grant will support the salary and professional development of one full-time STEM faculty member at Salish Kootenai College in Pablo, Montana from September 1, 2022 through August 31, 2023. The award aims to maintain the college's STEM program as it recovers from impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic by mitigating loss of enrollment-tied operating funds.
The grant falls under the NSF's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076), which sponsors development of the nation's STEM education enterprise. Specifically, this award addresses the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program's goal of expanding STEM instructional and research capacities at institutions serving indigenous students. Supporting an additional STEM faculty member will help sustain instructional gains and research opportunities in culturally significant areas to encourage STEM education appreciation across generations.
