Description
The National Science Foundation's Directorate for Computer and Information Science and Engineering (CISE) offers this program to broaden participation and build research capacity at Minority-Serving Institutions (MSIs) in computing and information science and engineering. The program aims to increase the number and competitiveness of CISE-funded research projects from MSIs, foster innovation, and cultivate diverse talent in the field. Four project "threads" are available, supporting a range of activities from research planning to large-scale collaborative partnerships.
