This grant, the National Science Foundation’s Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program, is for enhancing the research capabilities of minority-serving institutions (MSI). It supports establishing centers that effectively integrate education and research, fostering new knowledge, boosting faculty productivity, and expanding the presence of students underrepresented in STEM disciplines. The HBCU-RISE component specifically strengthens research capacity and doctoral training for underrepresented STEM students at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Projects under this initiative must demonstrate a unifying research focus in NSF-supported areas, align with institutional strategic plans, and include clear strategies for expanding research infrastructure and increasing underrepresented STEM doctoral graduates.

| Description: | The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program provides support toenhance the research capabilities of minority-serving institutions (MSI) through the establishment of centersthat effectively integrate education and research. CREST promotes the development of new knowledge,enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and an expanded presence of studentsunderrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines.
The HBCU-RISE is a component of the CREST program that supports the expansion of institutional research capacity as well as the successful training of doctoral students, especially those from groups underrepresented in STEM at HBCUs. HBCU-RISE projects must have a unifying research focus in one of the research areas supported by NSF; a direct connection to the long-term plans of the host department(s) and the institution’s strategic plan and mission; and plans for expanding institutional research capacity as well as increasing the production of doctoral students, especially those underrepresented in STEM. |
