Historically Black College and University Research Program

The Historically Black College and University (HBCU) Research Program is a government-funded initiative that supports research projects at HBCUs—institutions established primarily to serve African American students. The program aims to enhance research capacity, foster innovation, and address issues relevant to diverse communities. By providing funding and resources, it helps HBCUs advance knowledge, improve educational opportunities, and contribute to scientific and societal progress. This program emphasizes promoting diversity in research and strengthening the academic and research capabilities of historically Black colleges and universities.
