The 1890 CBG Program funds projects that build institutional teaching, research, and extension capacities at eligible 1890 Land-grant Universities. It supports cooperative programs with Federal and non-Federal entities to promote excellence and innovation at Historically Black Colleges and Universities. Projects may be collaborative or integrated, with subcontracting allowed to necessary organizations. Faculty project directors have limits on active projects to ensure focused capacity building.
Only eligible 1890 Land-grant Universities may apply, including 19 specified institutions. Faculty may serve as project directors on up to two active projects, with restrictions on overlapping project periods. Collaborative projects may subcontract to ineligible organizations if necessary.
