TXG Tribal Assistance

Need help getting your project off to a good start? Looking to make improvements to your data management process, or put a plan into place for future success? We can help! At no cost to you, we will review your request and try to connect you to other tribal professionals who are experienced in managing environmental data and using computer-based systems or information networks. TXG Tribal Assistance experiences can also help you develop skills, gain new knowledge, and forge relationships to the peers and colleagues that help guide and support you along your journey. 

What does a TXG Advisor do?
Advisors provide useful information, recommendations, guidance, and valuable insight based on their experiences, to other tribal professionals who are in need of practical solutions and tribally-relevant strategies.

What does Tribal Assistance look like?
TXG Advisors can share information remotely (via email/web exchanges), or through direct, on-site assistance, either at the Advisor’s location or that of the individual being assisted. Tribal Assistance may involve a single interchange, or may occur over a period of time.

“The code I have written because of these assistance sessions will save my program many days of time because I am able to automate processes that would otherwise have been manual entries, graph generation and copying and pasting, etc. For example, discrete water quality results downloaded from a handheld logger were previously entered manually into our database. Now, I can run my script to prep my data into a compatible spreadsheet that can be directly entered into our database.”

“The one-on-one sessions are great, to be able to work with our own data and apply the code to other sources of data was so helpful. Problem solving together was also a lot of fun. [The mentor] was awesome, she was so helpful throughout the entire process. She really helped and listened to understand how we wanted to analyze the data, and then she helped to figure out the right code to use to solve those problems.”
