HBCU/MI Programs
Abstract
This project supports basic research through the Partnership in Research Transition (PIRT) program, the Army's research initiative focused on partnerships with Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI), and provides support to Department of Defense (DoD) Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) program providing support for research and collaboration with DoD facilities and personnel for research and collaboration with DoD facilities and personnel. The focus of this effort is to enhance programs and capabilities of a select number of high-interest scientific and engineering disciplines through innovative research at Centers of Excellence (CoE) established at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. These COEs work with Army, industrial, and other academic partners to accelerate the transition from the research phase to technology demonstration. In addition, these CoEs recruit, educate, and train outstanding students and post-doctoral researchers in science and technology areas relevant to the Army. Work in this project if fully coordinated with the Office of Secretary of Defense program manager for HBCU/MI programs. The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering science and technology priority focus areas and the Army Modernization Strategy. Work on this project is performed by the U.S. Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in Adelphi, MD.
