The National Science Foundation Division of Undergraduate Education awarded $900,000 to Westat, Inc. on August 15, 2026, under the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) to develop an interactive dashboard tracking institutional, economic, and community outcomes of the Tribal Colleges and Universities Program (TCUP). Westat and its partners will create the TCUP Hub-hosted Institutional, Economic, and Community Indicators (THIECI) interactive dashboard, displaying longitudinal trends to enable the National Science Foundation and other stakeholders to document institutional, economic, and community gains associated with TCUP funding. The dashboard will support policymakers' and practitioners' understanding of benefits derived from supporting STEM instruction and research opportunities at tribal institutions. The project encompasses two primary goals: developing and refining an inventory of TCUP indicators with corresponding data collection strategies, and reaching consensus on specific institutional, economic, and community indicators to highlight on the dashboard. This work directly supports TCUP's broader mission to increase STEM instructional and research capacities at designated tribal institutions of higher education, expand STEM curricular offerings, and sustain capacity gains through faculty support and strengthened grant management. Performance is located in Bethesda, Maryland. The award period runs through July 31, 2028.
