The HBCU Excellence in Research program supports Historically Black Colleges and Universities by funding research projects that align with NSF's research programs. It aims to build sustainable research capacity and foster stronger connections between HBCU researchers and NSF initiatives, particularly benefiting institutions less successful in larger NSF competitions.
Eligibility is limited to Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), including both public and private institutions. Additional eligibility details are provided in the program's official documentation.
