A University of Nebraska-Lincoln project to help tribal college leaders to address environmental concerns they are facing. The goal of a grant is to have tribal students train to help with environmental problems elders and tribal leaders identify.
The grant is part of a pilot program through NSF and EPSCoR — Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research — to target underrepresented populations in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
The classes with offer chemistry courses to allow students to address real-world problems many tribal leaders must deal with now.
