The federal Project Grant award was provided by the National Science Foundation (NSF) through its STEM Education (CFDA 47.076) program. The $215,878 award supports the "HBCU UJIMA Collective: Building Research Capacity at HBCUs through a Grow Your Own Research Corps Model" project, which is a collaborative effort between Howard University, Miles College, Morgan State University, Tennessee State University, and Winston-Salem State University. The project aims to develop an adaptable "grow your own" model to train students, faculty, and staff at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in research administration and scientific research, with the goal of enhancing the overall research capacity at HBCUs. The award will fund the design, piloting, assessment, and dissemination of this training model across the partner institutions and additional HBCUs. The project seeks to address the shortage of qualified research administration professionals at HBCUs and increase opportunities for HBCU students to pursue advanced STEM degrees, ultimately broadening participation in the STEM workforce.
