The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is offering its Scientific Leadership Awards (SLA) program to enhance educational and research capabilities within Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). This grant is for the purpose of achieving S&T goals by supporting initiatives that include coordinated teaching and DHS-relevant research projects, especially with early career faculty involvement. Key elements comprise establishing collaborative relationships with DHS research Centers of Excellence and federal labs, developing HS-STEM curriculum, and providing financial support, internships, and mentoring for undergraduate students. The program emphasizes successful student transition into HS-STEM careers or graduate school. A critical requirement is a subproject facilitating collaboration or faculty exchange between the MSI faculty and researchers at a COE or federal laboratory.
