A Plan to Promote Defense Research at Minority-Serving Institutions
This new report from the National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine was requested by Congress in
P.L. 116-92, National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2020. It’s the final report of two that identifies tangible frameworks for increasing the participation of minority-serving institutions (MSIs) in defense-related research and development and identifies the necessary mechanisms for elevating MSIs to R1 status (doctoral universities with very high research activity) on the Carnegie Classifications of Institutions of Higher Education scale.
