United Tribes Technical College (UTTC) received a $200,000 Project Grant from the National Science Foundation's Division of Undergraduate Education under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) for the period July 1, 2026 through June 30, 2027. The award supports a Rapid Research project focused on North Dakota black bear population research designed to advance science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) capacity at the tribal college. The project addresses the critical need to characterize recovering black bear populations in North Dakota by collecting non-invasive DNA samples using passive hair snares and employing spatially-explicit capture-recapture study methodology. DNA will be isolated and genotyped using genotyping-in-thousands methods to identify individual bears and establish population structure, survival rates, and movement patterns. This research initiative directly supports NSF's goal of expanding STEM instructional and research capacities at tribal colleges and universities while producing data essential for informed conservation management decisions in the region. The findings will establish an analytical framework model that can be shared with other regions facing similar wildlife management challenges. No subawards are planned for this project.Federal Grant Award Summary
