Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI)
Abstract
The Historically Black Colleges and Universities and Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) program provides support for research and collaboration with DoD facilities and personnel. The research grants further knowledge in the basic physical scientific and engineering disciplines through theoretical and empirical activities. Collaborative research allows university professors to work directly with military laboratories or other universities. Section 242 of the FY 2009 Authorization Report directs the Secretary of Defense to carry out an independent assessment of the DoD-wide HBCU/MI Programs. The assessment is due no later than 12 months after the enactment this Act (October 2009). The National Academy of Sciences will conduct the independent assessment. On December 8, 2009 we were advised by DOD OGC that the Department of Justice said we should go ahead with the new DOD HBCU/MI program enacted by Congress as Section 252 in the FY 2010 National Defense Authorization Act as it was implemented before it was enjoined in the Rothe court decision.
