Opportunity Information: Apply for 15 552

The Historically Black Colleges and Universities Undergraduate Program (HBCU UP) aims to enhance STEM education and research at HBCUs, promoting greater participation of underrepresented minorities in the STEM workforce. Recognizing the important role HBCUs play in awarding STEM degrees to African American students, this program seeks to improve the quality of undergraduate education through various funding opportunities.

HBCU UP supports several types of projects:

1. **Targeted Infusion Projects (TIP)**: These projects focus on achieving specific, short-term goals to improve undergraduate STEM education at HBCUs.

2. **Broadening Participation Research (BPR)**: This track funds research initiatives that explore new models and innovations to increase participation and success among underrepresented groups in STEM.

3. **Research Initiation Awards (RIA)**: These are designed for STEM faculty at HBCUs, enabling them to pursue research either on campus or at designated research institutions.

4. **Implementation Projects**: These projects aim to design and assess comprehensive strategies to boost the number of students earning STEM degrees and improve the quality of their preparation.

5. **Achieving Competitive Excellence (ACE) Implementation Projects**: Specifically for HBCUs with strong track records, these projects build on previous funding to enhance institutional capacity.

6. **Broadening Participation Research Centers**: These centers focus on conducting significant research related to STEM education at HBCUs, acting as national hubs to share effective educational practices and interventions.

Overall, HBCU UP is dedicated to addressing the challenges faced by underrepresented populations in STEM, fostering a pipeline of talent ready for advanced studies and careers in these fields.
