Title III ANNH Grants

Title III Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian (ANNH) Serving Institution Grants

Chaminade University was awarded its first U.S. Department of Education Title III Alaska Native, Native Hawaiian (ANNH) Serving Institution grant (P031W150002) in 2004. Since that initial grant, and over subsequent years, grants from Title III Part A and F programs have served to transform and strengthen Chaminade University of Honolulu and enhanced the manner in which we serve our students. Grants have included focus on improving information systems on campus, renovation of spaces, including classrooms and laboratories, student success initiatives, student technology and security, and faculty development. We are proud to be able to utilize funding to continually strengthen our ability to serve all students, which includes a high percentage of Native Hawaiian students who directly benefit from grant funded enhancements to Chaminade. Our current awards demonstrate our commitment to continual improvement.

Current Title III Programs

Strengthening Academic Quality and Student Success through Institutional Effectiveness, Enhanced Online Program Delivery, Research Support, and an Ecology of Student Learning Spaces (P031V210022 / 2021-2026).

Strengthening Island Health Professions (P031W190009 / 2020-2025)

This Title III grant centers on one overarching goal, namely to respond to the needs of students and the community and to do so through the creation of a Doctorate of Nursing Practice (DNP) program. The creation of the DNP enables Chaminade to continue its trajectory of meeting student and community needs as well as build upon our foundation of successful health professions education programming. The Chaminade DNP program educates students to be caring nursing professionals who promote health and high standards of practice and who will be committed to decreasing health-related disparities. The program is specifically designed in Hawaii, for Hawaii.

Strengthening Strengthening Chaminade University & Kapiolani Community College’s Capacity to Graduate Career and Workforce Ready Students (P031W240004 | 2024-2029)

College Partnerships, Peer Mentorship, and Experiential Learning (P031W190009 / 2019-2024)

This grant is a cooperative grant between Chaminade University of Honolulu and Kapiolani Community College. The Title III cooperative initiatives between Chaminade University of Honolulu (CUH) and Kapi`olani Community College (KapCC) aim to significantly enhance the institutions’ capacities to prepare students for the workforce, particularly targeting the needs of underserved communities. These initiatives are designed to increase retention and graduation rates by providing strategic, focused, and intentional preparation aligned with workforce demands. Activities such as faculty development seminars, curriculum redevelopment, student development programs, and the integration of enhanced guided pathways are tailored to address the specific vulnerabilities of serving high percentages of Pell-eligible, first-generation, and Native Hawaiian and Pacific Islander students, often affected by broader socio-economic disparities. Key Chaminade University working members:

  • Dr. Janet T. Davidson, Vice Provost, Academic Affairs – Project Director
  • James Heller-Sutton, Assistant Provost, Academic Affairs & Director, Center for Teaching & Learning
  • Dr. Emily Pujadas Liwag, Director, Office of Sponsored Programs

  • Andrew Perez, Grants Specialist & Title III Monitor
