What this call funds

Key programmatic objectives of the DoN HBCU/MI Program are achieved through the implementation and performance of three program goals:

  • enhancing the research and educational capabilities of HBCU/MIs in scientific and engineering disciplines critical to the defense mission of the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps,
  • encouraging cross-institutional, collaborative efforts that explore innovative solutions to naval science and technology (S&T) challenges, and
  • increasing the engagement of students in STEM fields important to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps.

This particular NOFO aims to enhance the research capacity and research infrastructure for HBCU/MIs. Competitive white papers and invited full proposals submitted to this NOFO must clearly and succinctly describe efforts that advance basic naval-relevant S&T, engage faculty and students in STEM discovery, and expand the research capacity of participant institutions.

This announcement is only for research efforts that also promote student/faculty engagement, and expand the institution’s research capacity. This announcement is not intended for projects that focus on non-research STEM activities.

The technical content of any proposed effort must contribute to the S&T mission and vision of the DoN.
