The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering a grant opportunity titled "Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Excellence in Research" (HBCU-EiR) aimed at enhancing research capacity at accredited Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This program is designed to support research projects in science, engineering, and STEM education, particularly for HBCUs that have previously faced challenges in securing larger NSF grants. The initiative seeks to foster stronger connections between HBCU researchers and NSF's research programs, thereby stimulating sustainable improvements in their research and development capabilities. The total estimated funding for this program is $28 million, with approximately 35 awards expected to be made. Proposals must be submitted by full-time faculty members at eligible HBCUs by the deadline of October 15, 2024. For further information, applicants can contact NSF grants.gov support at grantsgovsupport@nsf.gov or visit the additional information page at http://www.nsf.gov/publications/pub_summ.jsp?ods_key=nsf23598.
