SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION:
Title of Collection: Evaluation of the
Tribal Colleges and Universities
Program.
OMB Control No.: 3145–NEW.
Expiration Date of Approval: Not
applicable.
Abstract: Since 2001 the National
Science Foundation’s Tribal Colleges
and Universities Program (TCUP) has
been supporting science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM)
participation and retention among
American Indians, Alaska Natives, and
Native Hawaiians through the support
of quality STEM teaching through
faculty development, STEM degree and
curriculum enhancement, and
undergraduate research and training
opportunities. The evaluation being
conducted by Kauffman and Associates,
Inc. focuses on a cross-site case study of
the overall effectiveness of the programs
as well as the impact the programs have
had on participating institutions, STEM
faculty, and students enrolled in STEM
courses. To complement this
comprehensive evaluation study three
sub-studies—a model of practice study,
an outcome study pertaining to the
impact on institutional transformation,
and a study about the STEM
programmatic influences on student
outcomes—will be conducted. The
study will rely on a thorough review of
college and STEM record assessments;
telephone and face-to-face interviews
with governing board members, college
administrators, faculty members, and
collaborative partners; focus groups
with students, community members,
faculty, and other stakeholders; and
web-based surveys with alumni,
governing board members, college
presidents, administrators, and STEM
faculty. The web-based surveys will be
conducted with all grantees and past
and present students and the interviews
and focus groups will be conducted
with the above specified populations at
selected sites. The goal of this cross-site
evaluation is to assess the effect of the
STEM program on students, faculty, and
administrators, to determine its overall
effect on student achievement, outreach,
and support in scientific research,
faculty development, advancement, and
