Awards under this FOA will only be made to U.S.-based Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) of higher education with degree granting programs in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM). As provided in 10 U.S. C. § 2362, eligibility for this competition is only open to the following institutions:a) MSIs eligible for assistance under Title III or V of the Higher Education Act of 1965 (20 U.S.C. 1051 et seq.); orb) Accredited post-secondary MSIs.For MSIs that are not formally designated as an HBCU or TCU (Tribal Colleges and Universities), enrollments, accreditation, and other factors may affect eligibility in any given year. To demonstrate that criterion 1.A. (above) is satisfied, institutions that are not formally designated as an HBCU or TCU must submit a letter from the Department of Education (DoED) certifying eligibility for Title III or Title V assistance; this letter must be applicable for the current academic year. The eligibility letter will not be included in the page limit (see Section II. D. 2.). If a current eligibility letter is not submitted with the initial white paper for institutions that are not HBCUs or TCUs, the applicant will be deemed ineligible and the white paper will not be reviewed.

What the grant funds

The Department of Navy (DoN) Historically Black Colleges and Universities/Minority Institutions (HBCU/MI) Program aims to increase the quantity and quality of minority professionals in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) in the defense community. Research conducted at Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) for the DoN HBCU/MI Program: • Enhances 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 • Encourages cross-institutional, collaborative efforts that explore innovative solutions to naval science and technology (S&T) challenges, and • Increases the engagement of students, including underrepresented minorities, in STEM fields important to the U.S. Navy and U.S. Marine Corps. This FOA is executed under policy and guidance of the DoN HBCU/MI Program and is administered by the Office of Naval Research (ONR). Competitive white papers and full invited proposals submitted to this FOA 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.
