National Model at Howard University Demonstrating Private Sector Interrelationships That Facilitate Research in Predominantly Black Colleges and Universities

摘要

Support provided by DOE has been used to facilitate the advancement of research alliances at Howard University, North Carolina A and T State University, Morgan State University and other historically black colleges and universities. The nation's economy is increasing by the developing and commercialization of new technologies and training of future scientists and engineers. President Reagan, in his 1987 State of the Union address, proposed several initiatives to enhance the nation's economic competitiveness, including the establishment by federal research agencies centers of science and technology. The President described these centers as ''new university-based interdisciplinary science and technology centers'' that will focus on fundamental science that directly contributes to the nation's economic competitiveness. Phase One of the grant from DOE has been used to promote and develop research centers of excellence in historically black colleges and universities. (ERA citation 13:018076)
