Opportunity Information: Apply for DE FOA 0001841
The Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program (MSIPP) funding opportunity, issued by the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) under FOA number DE-FOA-0001841, supports grant awards to build or strengthen STEM consortium partnerships led by Minority Serving Institutions. The program is focused on expanding the capacity and participation of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs) in STEM fields that align with NNSA mission needs and the broader national STEM workforce. Funding is available for either new projects or renewal efforts, with the general aim of creating stronger pathways for students and faculty at these institutions to engage in high-impact STEM education, research, and workforce development opportunities.
The technical and academic areas of interest are broad but clearly STEM-centered, covering biological sciences (excluding medicine and other clinical fields), physical sciences such as physics, chemistry, astronomy, and materials science, mathematical sciences, computer and information sciences, nuclear sciences and engineering, and engineering more generally. The FOA also explicitly includes technology fields tied to these disciplines, such as biotechnology, chemical technology, engineering technology, and information technology. In practice, this means applicants can propose consortium activities that range from curriculum and lab modernization to collaborative research experiences, student training, and other partnership-based models, as long as they are anchored in these eligible STEM domains and tied to the program's goals.
A key purpose of the MSIPP consortium partnership approach is to increase representation of African Americans, Hispanics, and Native Americans in STEM disciplines across both the public and private sectors nationwide. The FOA also emphasizes strengthening connections to the DOE/NNSA enterprise, especially opportunities connected to the National Laboratories. This reflects a workforce and pipeline strategy: helping MSI students and faculty gain access to mentorship, facilities, real-world problem sets, and career pathways that can lead to internships, graduate education, and employment in areas relevant to national security and advanced science and engineering.
Eligibility is limited to applications submitted by HBCUs, HSIs, and TCUs; the solicitation states that only grant applications from those institution types will be accepted. The source information also lists eligible applicant categories consistent with higher education and tribal entities, including public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, and federally recognized Native American tribal governments, but the FOA narrative makes clear the intent to restrict this competition to qualifying MSIs (HBCU, HSI, or TCU). Applicants must submit through Grants.gov, and registration in Grants.gov is required in order to apply.
Administratively, this is a discretionary grant opportunity in the education funding activity category, associated with CFDA 81.123. The FOA was created on February 6, 2018, with an original closing date of March 19, 2018. The award ceiling listed is $1,000,000, and the opportunity anticipated making about 7 awards.Apply for DE FOA 0001841
