Good News in the Progress Toward Top-Tier Research Status for HBCUs?

March 13, 2024
The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education is making changes to drastically simplify the criteria that determine its highly coveted R1 top-tier research classification. Last year, CSET Senior Fellow, Jaret Riddick, wrote about a new law from Congress, Section 223 of the 2023 National Defense Authorization Act, intended to leverage existing Carnegie classification criteria to increase defense research capacity for historically Black colleges and universities. Now, research is needed to understand how the changes proposed for 2025 classification criteria impact U.S. Department of Defense goals for eligible HBCU partners.
The Carnegie Classification of Institutions of Higher Education (CCIHE) is making changes to drastically simplify the criteria that determine its highly coveted R1 (“very high research activity”) top-tier research classification. Since 2015, Carnegie Classification analysts have used a set of calculations based upon criteria such as research expenditures, doctoral degrees conferred in science and engineering, as well as arts and humanities, and number of PhD research staff. According to The Chronicle of Higher Education, starting in 2025 the threshold for achieving R1 will be simply spending $50 million on research and development, and awarding 70 doctoral degrees in any research field—including non-STEM fields—all within a year...
