The purpose of this planning grant is to thoroughly evaluate Nebraska Indian Community College's (NICC's) current STEM resources, assess STEM needs of the institution, and from this create a comprehensive STEM development plan. At each step of the process, the Tribal communities will be involved through Talking Circles, allowing for community input and also bringing STEM issues to the forefront in the communities. Results of findings will be disseminated to the Tribes and to other Tribal colleges, as well as through the internet.
