Tribal Air Monitoring Support Center (TAMS)
American Indian Air Quality Training Program (AIAQTP) offers extensive training through TAMS which focuses on various topics related to ambient and indoor air quality monitoring. To date, over 1,900 tribal professionals have been trained by the TAMS Center, representing 298 tribes.
TAMS Center courses are designed to complement other AIAQTP courses and generally address more advanced air quality issues. Each course is designed with tribal audiences and issues in mind, integrating tribal case studies and tribal professionals as part of the instructional team in every course. Class size is kept to a minimum to ensure a higher level of interaction and one-on-one training opportunities with the instructors.
Environmental Education Outreach Program (EEOP)
The EEOP is part of the Institute for Tribal Environmental Professionals (ITEP) at Northern Arizona University. The purpose of the EEOP is to interest Native American students in environmental careers and to assist schools in improving environmental science literacy.
