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) 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 high-interest scientific and engineering disciplines through innovative research performed: 1) at Centers of Excellence (CoE) established at HBCU/MIs, and 2) in collaboration with Collaborative Technology Alliances and Collaborative Research Alliances (CTA/CRAs). The COEs and CTA/CRAs work with Army, industry, and other academic partners to transition research to technology demonstration. In addition, the CoEs and CTA/CRA partnerships provide opportunities to 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 the Secretary of Defense (OSD) program manager for HBCU/MI programs. Work performed in this Project supports key Army needs and is coordinated with one or more of the following Projects: 0601104A (University and Industry Research Center)/Project EA6 (Cyber CRA), /Project F17 (Neuroergonomics CTA), /Project H09 (Robotics CTA), /Project H50 (Network Sciences CTA), Micro Autonomous Systems Technology CTA), and /Project VS2 (Multiscale Modeling of Materials). The cited work is consistent with the Assistant Secretary of Defense for Research and Engineering Science and Technology priority focus areas. Work on this Project is performed by the Army Research Laboratory (ARL) in Adelphi, MD.
