Idaho State University, in collaboration with the Shoshone-Bannock Tribe, hosted a workshop series in spring 2022: Native-University Collaborative Research Workshop Series. The workshop series was designed to train Native and non-Native researchers to support more equitable collaborative research relationships among Idaho Tribes, communities, and universities. This was an in-person workshop series funded by the National Science Foundation Idaho EPSCoR Program under award number OIA-1757324.
While this workshop series served Tribal and university participants statewide, it was motivated, in part, by an ongoing study that suggests most view significant room for improvement in mutual understanding and collaborative efforts between Idaho State University and the Shoshone-Bannock Tribes who are located only 10 miles apart.
