Opportunity Summary:
The DHS Scientific Leadership Awards for Minority Serving Institutions Granting Bachelor Degrees (Funding Opportunity Number DHS 09 ST 062 002; CFDA 97.062) is a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) grant program run through the DHS Science and Technology (S&T) Directorate, Office of University Programs. Its central purpose is to build a more coordinated, homeland security-focused education pipeline in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (HS-STEM) so that students are better prepared for careers developing and advancing the technologies used to protect the nation. A major emphasis of the program is workforce development that more closely reflects the diversity of the United States, which is why the opportunity is targeted to eligible Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) that grant bachelor degrees.
The program is designed to do two related things at once: strengthen institutional capacity to deliver homeland security-relevant STEM education and help early-career faculty become leaders in research and education tied to DHS mission needs. In practice, the awards are meant to support the creation or expansion of scientific leadership programs at MSI campuses in areas considered critical to homeland security, while also investing in faculty who are building their research agendas and mentoring the next generation of HS-STEM professionals. The funding activity category is listed as Education, and the funding instrument is a Grant, indicating DHS intended these awards to function as education-and-workforce development investments rather than procurement contracts.
In terms of scale and competitiveness, DHS anticipated making around 10 awards, with an estimated total funding amount of $3,800,000. The opportunity did not require cost sharing or matching funds, which can make participation more feasible for institutions that may have limited discretionary resources. Eligible applicants were identified as public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, and the narrative description specifies that the solicitation focuses on MSIs granting bachelor degrees, aligning eligibility with institutions positioned to influence undergraduate STEM preparation and early career pathways.
Administratively, the opportunity was posted May 11, 2009, with an application closing date of June 25, 2009, and an archive date of July 9, 2009, indicating it is a historical/archived solicitation rather than an open competition today. The announcement directs applicants to the full funding opportunity notice for detailed instructions and provides a point of contact for help accessing materials or resolving submission issues. The listed contact is Janet Bailey, Grants Specialist, Department of Homeland Security, Office of Procurement Operations, Grants and Financial Assistance Division, Mail Stop 0115, Room 3051, 245 Murray Lane SW, Washington, DC 20528-0115, phone 202-447-0362.
