About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation is soliciting applications for research projects at Historically Black Colleges and Universities through the HBCU - Excellence in Research program, with an application deadline of October 19, 2027. Eligibility is restricted to accredited HBCUs with faculty members conducting research in science, engineering, or STEM education; the Principal Investigator must be a full-time faculty member or researcher at the submitting HBCU.
The program funds research projects aligned with NSF's research programs across multiple disciplinary areas including biological sciences, geosciences, computer and information science and engineering, engineering, mathematical and physical sciences, social and behavioral sciences, integrative activities, international science and engineering, polar programs, and STEM education. EiR targets sustainable improvement in research and development capacity at HBCUs, particularly those without prior success in larger NSF Research & Related Activities competitions, by establishing stronger connections between HBCU researchers and NSF's funding mechanisms.
Awards are Project Grants. The program carries no cost-share requirement. The source does not specify award ceilings, floors, expected number of awards, or period of performance. Applications must be submitted through Grants.gov in PDF format with embedded fonts and must include standard NSF forms: SF 424 (R&R), Project/Performance Site Location(s), Research and Related Other Project Information, Research and Related Budget, NSF Cover Page, and NSF Senior/Key Person Profile (Expanded). Applicants must obtain NSF IDs and organization-approved roles through NSF Research.gov Account Management prior to submission. NSF recommends initiating submission at least five business days before the deadline to allow time for compliance error resolution. The program operates under multiple CFDA numbers reflecting disciplinary tracks: Biological Sciences (47.074), Geosciences (47.050), Computer and Information Science and Engineering (47.070), Engineering (47.041), Mathematical and Physical Sciences (47.049), Social, Behavioral, and Economic Sciences (47.075), Integrative Activities (47.083), Office of International Science and Engineering (47.079), Polar Programs (47.078), STEM Education (47.076), and NSF Technology, Innovation, and Partnerships (47.084).
Synopsis
3 versions
Update #3 · Latest ·
The Historically Black Colleges and Universities - Excellence in Research (HBCU-EiR) program was established in response to direction provided in the Senate Commerce and Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee Report (Senate Report 115-139), and is built on prior and continuing efforts by the National Science Foundation (NSF) to strengthen research capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This report provided guidance to NSF to establish the HBCU Excellence in Research program "to provide opportunities for both public and private HBCUs, particularly for those who have not been successful in larger NSF Research & Related Activities competitions, in order to stimulate sustainable improvement in their research and development capacity" (https://congress.gov/congressional-report/115th-congress/senate-report/139/1).
EiR supports such capacity building by funding research projects aligned with NSF's research programs. The program aims to establish stronger connections between researchers at HBCUs and NSF's research programs.
