OpportunityTitle: MUREP Precollege Summer Institute (MUREP PSI)&#160;
CategoryExplanation: In support of the advancement of the U.S. national workforce development and educational goals, MUREP PSI seeks to inspire, equip, and prepare high school students for college STEM degree programs and STEM careers. The MUREP PSI is designed using evidence-based effective strategies to enhance high school students&#8217; precollege performance, prepare them for college entrance, and ultimately achieve success in their higher education pursuits and in STEM careers. Without the fundamental support provided by federal programs such as the MUREP PSI, students from groups traditionally underrepresented and/or underserved in STEM fields may be less likely to consider or pursue STEM college degrees and careers, thereby limiting the talent pool of highly qualified candidates. MUREP PSI-proposed programs shall be implemented as residential experiences on the campuses of HBCUs and PBIs. HBCU and PBI campuses without residential facilities shall partner with other educational institutions to provide residential accommodations.
AdditionalInformationOnEligibility: All proposals shall originate from a Historically Black College or University (HBCU) or Predominately Black Institution (PBI), designated and listed by the U.S. Department of Education as an HBCU or PBI.
Description: The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA)&#8217;s Office of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Engagement (OSTEM) Minority University Research and Education Project (MUREP) solicits proposals from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) and Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) to establish a MUREP Precollege Summer Institute (PSI) that will increase participation and retention of historically underserved and underrepresented high school students in STEM areas and prepare them for success in college STEM degree programs and STEM careers.
