About the company
Shaw University is a private historically Black college and university located in Raleigh, North Carolina, that has established itself as a significant recipient of federal grant funding across multiple agencies and program areas. As a minority-serving institution, Shaw University leverages federal grants to advance academic excellence, expand educational opportunities for underrepresented and low-income student populations, and strengthen its institutional capacity in research and infrastructure development. The university's federal award portfolio reflects a commitment to STEM education, cybersecurity workforce development, campus safety and victim services, and the preservation of its historic facilities that represent important milestones in the struggle for equal rights in America.
Shaw University's federal grant work spans diverse programmatic areas administered by the U.S. Department of Education, National Science Foundation, Department of Defense, Department of Justice, National Park Service, Institute of Museum and Library Services, National Telecommunications and Information Administration, and the Minority Business Development Agency. Recent prime grant awards have focused on strengthening institutional capacity through curriculum development and faculty training under Title III Part F; diversifying the biotechnology workforce through academic-business partnerships; acquiring automated research instrumentation; conducting research on smart technology privacy disparities; establishing a dedicated Cyber Operations Lab to support cybersecurity education and K-12 outreach; improving broadband infrastructure and creating a virtual campus through the Building Bridges to Code project; supporting entrepreneurship education programs; and developing a Center for Cyber Education and Research. The university has also received substantial funding for historic preservation projects, including roof repairs and HVAC upgrades at Estey Hall and Tyler Hall, and improvements to Leonard Hall, an 1883 structure with significant historical importance as the site of the nation's first four-year medical school for Black students. Campus safety initiatives funded through a Department of Justice grant include comprehensive programs to combat domestic violence, dating violence, sexual assault, and stalking, with culturally-specific approaches addressing LGBTQ student needs. Additionally, Shaw University has engaged in sub-award collaborations with North Carolina Agricultural and Technical State University for genomic research and data science training, victim services coordination, and with the North Carolina Department of Public Safety for disaster recovery efforts, as well as participation in the Child and Adult Care Food Program through the state health department.
