The examination therefore focused on the practices whereby ARL administers its support to HBCU/MI institutions and the practices by which those institutions secure and apply that support to enhance their STEM programs. ARL provided to the committee detailed descriptions of available programs and processes whereby they are administered, as well as detailed quantitative data describing the recipients of support under each of its programs, including the funding level in each year for each institution and investigator supported.

ARL grants and programs have helped to jump-start and build technical infrastructure and have encouraged the enrichment of STEM curricular offerings and graduate student training opportunities. ARL programs have also helped to raise faculty and student morale, provided invaluable opportunity for productive scholarship, and increased the number of intellectually talented STEM graduates.

ARL funding levels to engage and support STEM capabilities at HBCUs/MIs are not substantial in amount, relative to the size of ARL total annual funding or in absolute terms, and are declining. It has become increasingly necessary, therefore, for ARL to consider carefully its strategies for allocating funds to and across these institutions and to regularly and systematically assess the impact of its support on the successful development, maintenance, and growth of the STEM programs at these institutions.

5. ARL should proactively engineer the participation of its HBCUs/MIs in multiyear cooperative agreements to ensure that there is adequate funding and time for those institutions to gain access to and procure equipment, support the completion of graduate and undergraduate student research, arrange for onsite or virtual internships with ARL laboratories and other laboratories, and develop the capacity to respond to redirection of funded research tasks by ARL program managers.

From page 5... ...
The HBCUs/MIs should build relationships with foundations wherein foundational resources are combined with ARL resources to extend the research portfolios of the HBCUs/MIs.
