The Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HCBU) Excellence in Research Program (HBCU-EiR) provides opportunities to stimulate sustainable improvement in research and development capacity. HBCU-EiR grants seek to create stronger connections between HBCU researchers and the National Science Foundation (NSF) by funding research projects aligned with NSF’s research programs.

The program was established in response to direction provided in the Senate Commerce and Justice, Science and Related Agencies Appropriations Subcommittee Report (Senate Report 115-139) and is built on prior and continuing efforts by the NSF to strengthen research capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This report provided guidance to NSF to establish the HBCU Excellence in Research program “to provide opportunities for both public and private HBCUs, particularly for those who have not been successful in larger NSF Research & Related Activities competitions, in order to stimulate sustainable improvement in their research and development capacity”  (https://congress.gov/congressional-report/115th-congress/senate-report/139/1).

Be sure to read Prof. Rashmi Jha’s article, “Emerging Memory Devices Beyond Conventional Data Storage: Paving the Path for Energy-Efficient Brain-Inspired Computing,” in the spring 2023 issue of The Electrochemical Society Interface.

The article aims to address “limitations of the memory bandwidth of machine learning and artificial intelligence algorithms, and the necessity of novel computing architectures to overcome this limitation” (Jha, 2023).

Rashmi Jha is Professor of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science at the University of Cincinnati (UC). Her research interests are in artificial intelligence; low-power neuromorphic systems; CMOS and other emerging logic and memory devices; on-die sensors; cross-technology heterogenous integration and modeling; cybersecurity with an emphasis on hardware security; additive, flexible, and wearable electronics; nanoelectronics; neuroscience and neuroelectronics; and bio-inspired computing and systems.
