Today, U.S. Senators Chris Van Hollen (D-Md.) and Thom Tillis (R-N.C.) announced the inclusion of key language from their HBCU RISE Act in the fiscal year 2023 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA). The Senators’ provision aims to spur greater research investment in Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and other Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) while strengthening our national defense research ecosystem. The provision creates a new program with the U.S. Department of Defense (DOD) to help HBCUs and MSIs achieve “very high research activity status,” also known as “R1” status. “North Carolina A&T is a world-class university and just one example of the crucial role that HBCUs play in cultivating cutting-edge research and our workforce pipeline in the state,” said Senator Tillis. “I am proud this bipartisan legislation will become law and help our HBCUs continue this important work, reach R1 status, and strengthen our national defense research network.” www.vanhollen.senate.gov/news/press-releases/van-hollen-tillis-secure-provision-to-boost-hbcu-msi-research-capacity-in-fy23-defense-billChancellor Martin and the state are working toward a common goal!!!
