Examples of Funded Projects

The University of Hawaii at Hilo has established a center for gifted and talented Native Hawaiian children. The center will serve as a catalyst for the development of procedures for identifying and assessing Native Hawaiian gifted and talented children, innovative projects with promise for gifted and talented native Hawaiian children, procedures for integrating these projects into the curricula of appropriate agencies, and support services for the families of gifted and talented Native Hawaiian children. Activities have been developed in four general areas: identification and assessment; teacher workshops; parent workshops; and programs for children.
