About this opportunity
The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program, funded by the National Science Foundation (NSF), provides grants to enhance the research capabilities of minority-serving institutions (MSIs) through the establishment of centers that integrate education and research. The CREST program, including the HBCU-RISE component, aims to develop new knowledge, increase research productivity, and expand the participation of underrepresented students in STEM disciplines. Key requirements include a unifying research focus, connection to the institution's strategic plan, and plans for expanding research capacity and doctoral student production, especially among underrepresented groups.
The CREST program offers varying award amounts, with recent grants ranging from $149,999 to $2,000,000 and project periods spanning 2-6 years. Grants are typically awarded to universities, community colleges, research institutions, and STEM education-focused organizations, with performance occurring primarily at academic facilities across the United States.
Synopsis
The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program provides support toenhance the research capabilities of minority-serving institutions (MSI) through the establishment of centersthat effectively integrate education and research. CREST promotes the development of new knowledge,enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and an expanded presence of studentsunderrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The HBCU-RISE is a component of the CREST program that supports the expansion of institutional research capacity as well as the successful training of doctoral students, especially those from groups underrepresented in STEM at HBCUs. HBCU-RISE projects must have a unifying research focus in one of the research areas supported by NSF; a direct connection to the long-term plans of the host department(s) and the institution's strategic plan and mission; and plans for expanding institutional research capacity as well as increasing the production of doctoral students, especially those underrepresented in STEM.
