COMMUNITY-DRIVEN HEALTH ACCESS AND WORKFORCE DEVELOPMENT IN FORT BELKNAP AND SURROUNDING REGION - THIS PROJECT AIMS TO IMPROVE ACCESS TO SKILLED HEALTHCARE ON THE FORT BELKNAP RESERVATION BY THE END OF THE PROJECT PERIOD THROUGH EXPANDED CNA TRAINING AND THE IMPLEMENTATION OF TRAUMA AND CRITICAL CARE EDUCATION FOR NURSING STUDENTS, ADDRESSING GAPS IN EMERGENCY AND FRONTLINE CARE. THE PROJECT WILL STRENGTHEN CRITICAL CARE AND EMERGENCY PREPAREDNESS WHILE PROMOTING ECONOMIC SELF-SUFFICIENCY FOR THE FORT BELKNAP INDIAN COMMUNITY AND SURROUNDING AREAS. AANIIIH NAKODA COLLEGE (ANC) WILL EXPAND ITS NURSING AND ALLIED HEALTH PROGRAMS TO INCLUDE CRITICAL CARE CLINICALS, TRAUMA-INFORMED CARE TRAINING, AND INCREASED CNA PREPARATION.

FORT BELKNAP FACES HIGH RATES OF NEGATIVE HEALTH OUTCOMES, SUCH AS CHRONIC ILLNESS, MENTAL HEALTH CHALLENGES, AND A LACK OF LOCALLY-BASED CARE, WHICH ARE EXACERBATED BY GEOGRAPHIC ISOLATION AND ECONOMIC HARDSHIP. LOCAL MEMBERS HAVE EMPHASIZED THE NEED FOR “OUR OWN PEOPLE” TO DELIVER HEALTHCARE: PROVIDERS WHO UNDERSTAND AND RESPECT LOCAL TRADITIONS AND CAN OFFER TRUSTED SUPPORT DURING MEDICAL CRISES. THE PROJECT WILL PRIMARILY SERVE NATIVE AMERICAN STUDENTS WHO ARE LOW-INCOME, FIRST-GENERATION COLLEGE STUDENTS AND ENROLLED MEMBERS OF THE AANIINEN AND NAKODA NATIONS. SERVICES WILL INCLUDE CLASSROOM INSTRUCTION, CLINICAL PLACEMENTS, CERTIFICATION SUPPORT, AND CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT, ALL SHAPED BY THE NURSING ADVISORY COMMITTEE CONSISTING OF LOCAL HEALTHCARE PROFESSIONALS, ELDERS, AND TRADITIONAL LEADERS.

THE FORT BELKNAP INDIAN TRIBES (TRIBE) IS SEEKING GRANT FUNDING UNDER THE TRIBAL BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY PROGRAM (PROGRAM) ADMINISTERED BY THE NATIONAL TELECOMMUNICATIONS AND INFORMATION ADMINISTRATION (NTIA) BECAUSE THE DEPLOYMENT OF BROADBAND INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE TRIBE IN ELIGIBLE AREAS ON THE FORT BELKNAP RESERVATION (RESERVATION) AND IN SURROUNDING OFF-RESERVATION TRUST LANDS WILL HELP TO MEET AN URGENT NEED TO BRING ADVANCED BROADBAND SERVICES TO TRIBAL HOUSEHOLDS IN THESE COMMUNITIES. THE RESERVATION IS IN THE STATE OF MONTANA. THE RESERVATION IS COMPRISED OF RESERVATION AND OFF-RESERVATION TRUST LAND, COMPRISING OF APPROXIMATELY 652,000 ACRES NEAR THE COMMUNITY OFHARLEM, MONTANA, AND HAS A TRIBAL POPULATION OF 5,158 ENROLLED MEMBERS OF WHICH 3,476 LIVE ON THE RESERVATION. TO IDENTIFY THE COVERAGE OF OUR RESERVATION, TRIBAL MEMBERS FROM ACROSS THE RESERVATION WERE SURVEYED AND INTERVIEWED TO LEARN THE CURRENT BROADBAND CAPABILITIES BEING OFFERED BY THE CURRENT INTERNET SERVICE PROVIDER (ISP). THE SURVEYS AND REVIEWS WERE CONDUCTED BY THE ENGINEERING, ARCHITECTURE, AND FEASIBILITY STUDY TEAM FROM SPY EGO MEDIA LLC AND THE LOCAL TRIBAL MEMBERS. SPY EGO MEDIA CONDUCTED A FULL REVIEW OF EXISTING INCUMBENTS' INFRASTRUCTURE AND FOUND MULTIPLE LOCATIONS WITH FIBER IN POOR AND SEVERELY DEGRADED CONDITIONS. BASED ON THE CURRENT CONDITION OF THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE BY THE INCUMBENT PROVIDER, THE TRIBES GOAL FOR THIS BUILD OUT WILL NOT BE TO RIP AND REPLACE OR UPGRADE THE EXISTING INFRASTRUCTURE, BUT TO RUN NEW INFRASTRUCTURE TO OFFER HIGHSPEED, AFFORDABLE, AND RELIABLE SERVICES TO THE RESERVATION THAT WILL BE OWNED AND MAINTAINED BY THE TRIBE AND BY TRIBAL MEMBERS. THE ABILITY OF THE TRIBES EDUCATIONAL SYSTEMS TO OPERATE REMOTELY IS NEARLY NON-EXISTENT WITH THE CURRENT INFRASTRUCTURE. EDUCATIONAL FACILITIES CONTINUE TO STRUGGLE WITH ENABLING REMOTE LEARNING. WHEN THE TRIBES SCHOOLS ARE CLOSED DUE TO MEDICAL NECESSITY OR ENVIRONMENTAL EMERGENCIES, THEY CANNOT OFFER CLASSES TO CHILDREN BECAUSE THE INTERNET SERVICE CANNOT SUPPORT ONLINE CLASSES. MANY CHILDREN ARE UNABLE TO ACCESS ONLINE RESOURCES AND PARTICIPATE IN REMOTE LEARNING PROGRAMS DUE TO THE REASONS DESCRIBED ABOVE. THIS SITUATION HAS LED TO VERY CONCERNING EDUCATIONAL GAPS AND HAS HINDERED THE TRIBE SINCE WELL BEFORE THE OUTSET OF THE PANDEMIC. THESE SCHOOLS SUPPORT CHILDREN FROM THE FORT BELKNAP INDIAN COMMUNITY AND AS WELL AS OFF-RESERVATION CHILDREN. TRIBAL MEMBERS AND TRIBAL BUSINESSES HAVE ALSO BEEN ESPECIALLY VULNERABLE DUE TO INADEQUATE BROADBAND CONNECTIVITY. THE LACK OF QUALIFYING BROADBAND HAS PREVENTED MEMBERS FROM ATTAINING REMOTE WORK AND SIGNIFICANTLY HINDERED BUSINESSES FROM COMPETING IN DIGITAL MARKETPLACES. THE BROADBAND SITUATION HAS BEEN A MAJOR OBSTACLE PREVENTING ECONOMIC GROWTH. VITAL SERVICES SUCH AS POLICE, FIRE, AND MEDICAL ARE INADEQUATELY EQUIPPED WITH THE CURRENT CONNECTIVITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND BROADBAND ACCESS. ALL ISSUES EXPERIENCED BY OTHER PATRONS ARE ALSO EXPERIENCED BY THESE VITAL SERVICES AS WELL. THE CHALLENGES ASSOCIATED WITH THE CURRENT BROADBAND SITUATION PREVENTS FBIC FROM ROBUSTLY RESPONDING TO EMERGENT SCENARIOS. THE LACK OF RELIABILITY AND HIGHSPEED BROADBAND ALSO LIMITS TELEMEDICINE ACCESS WHICH IS CRITICALLY NEEDED.

ICE-TI: LAUNCHING THE BACCALAUREATE DEGREE IN COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS AT AANIIIH NAKODA COLLEGE -A GOAL OF THE TRIBAL COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES PROGRAM (TCUP) IS TO INCREASE THE SCIENCE, TECHNOLOGY, ENGINEERING AND MATHEMATICS (STEM) INSTRUCTIONAL AND RESEARCH CAPACITIES OF SPECIFIC INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION THAT SERVE THE NATION'S INDIGENOUS STUDENTS. EXPANDING THE STEM CURRICULAR OFFERINGS AT THESE INSTITUTIONS EXPANDS THE OPPORTUNITIES FOR THEIR STUDENTS TO PURSUE CHALLENGING, REWARDING CAREERS IN STEM FIELDS, PROVIDES FOR RESEARCH STUDIES IN AREAS THAT MAY BE CULTURALLY SIGNIFICANT, AND ENCOURAGES A COMMUNITY AND GENERATIONAL APPRECIATION FOR SCIENCE AND MATHEMATICS EDUCATION. THIS PROJECT ALIGNS DIRECTLY WITH THAT GOAL, AND MOREOVER MAY SERVE AS A MODEL AND IMPETUS FOR SIMILAR INSTITUTIONS OF HIGHER EDUCATION TO DEVELOP DEGREE PROGRAMS IN COMPUTER AND COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCES. THE CONNECTION OF FACULTY TO THE DEVELOPMENT OF NOVEL OPPORTUNITIES FOR PROGRAMS OF STUDY THAT ENSURE SUCCESSFUL TRANSFER TO LOCAL EMPLOYMENT, PARTICULARLY TRIBAL EMPLOYMENT, DEMONSTRATES THE ESSENTIALITY OF ENGAGING FULL-TIME, CREDENTIALED STEM FACULTY DEVOTED TO A SPECIFIC STRAND OF STUDY AND PREPARATION. MOREOVER, FOR THOSE STUDENTS ENTERING THE WORKFORCE DIRECTLY FROM A TRIBAL COLLEGE IT IS CRUCIALLY IMPORTANT THAT THEY HAVE A WELL-DEFINED SKILL SET IN MATHEMATICS, SCIENCE, AND TECHNOLOGY FOR ENTRY INTO THE STEM WORKFORCE. THIS PROJECT PROVIDES AN ACCREDITED STEM BACHELOR'S OF SCIENCE (BS) DEGREE OPTION IN COMPUTER SCIENCE AT AANIIIH NAKODA COLLEGE (ANC) FOR STUDENTS WHO THEN ARE PREPARED FOR EMPLOYMENT AT LOCAL, PARTICULARLY TRIBAL, ORGANIZATIONS. THE BS PROJECT BUILDS ON A WELL-ESTABLISHED ASSOCIATE DEGREE (AS) IN COMPUTER INFORMATION SYSTEMS, WHICH HAS BEEN A POPULAR DEGREE CHOICE FOR ANC STUDENTS. THE PROJECT CONTRIBUTES TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF IDENTIFIED PLANNING PRIORITIES OF THE FORT BELKNAP INDIAN COMMUNITY TO BUILD A LOCAL TECHNOLOGY WORKFORCE THAT CAN MEET THE OPERATIONAL NEEDS OF TRIBAL GOVERNMENTS AND OTHER TRIBAL ENTITIES. THE PROJECT ADDRESSES THE UNDERREPRESENTATION OF AMERICAN INDIANS IN STEM FIELDS, WHILE ALSO PROVIDING PROGRAM GRADUATES FOR EXCELLENT OPPORTUNITIES IN HIGH-DEMAND AND HIGH-WAGE COMPUTER AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY PROFESSIONS. THIS AWARD REFLECTS NSF'S STATUTORY MISSION AND HAS BEEN DEEMED WORTHY OF SUPPORT THROUGH EVALUATION USING THE FOUNDATION'S INTELLECTUAL MERIT AND BROADER IMPACTS REVIEW CRITERIA.- SUBAWARDS ARE NOT PLANNED FOR THIS AWARD.
