## What the grant funds

U.S. Army Combat Capabilities Development Command (DEVCOM) Army Research Laboratory (ARL) Historically Black College and University (HBCU)/Minority-Serving Institution (MI) Research Partnership. Under the DEVCOM ARL HBCU/MI Research Partnership, funding will be provided for HBCU/MIs to support basic research focused on partnerships with major DEVCOM ARL research programs. The focus of this effort is to advance innovative basic research in areas of strategic importance to the Army by bringing competitively selected HBCU/MI research teams into existing Army Futures Command (AFC) Collaborative Research Alliances (CRAs), Collaborative Technology Alliances (CTAs), and research centers. The Army CRAs, CTAs, and centers work with Army, industry, and other academic partners to conduct and transition research to technology demonstration. This is a call for HBCUs/MIs to submit whitepapers expressing their interest in participating in new research partnerships with opportunities and to recruit, educate, and train outstanding students and post-doctoral researchers through participation in collaborative research in science and technology areas relevant to the Army. This opportunity will establish three to five new HBCU/MI research partnerships, each selected to enhance existing research under an individual Army CRA, CTA, and/or center. Whitepapers are to be submitted addressing one of the seven ARL research program opportunities described in Section II.B. The format and content of the Whitepapers, and for invited proposals, as well as submission information, are described below and in the following sections. Whitepapers may be submitted to more than one of the seven ARL Programs; however, each Program requires a separate submission. Further, while there is no limit on the number of Whitepapers submitted by each institution, each named Principal Investigator from an institution can submit only one Whitepaper to each of the seven ARL Programs.
