Success Stories
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Tribal Colleges and Universities (TCUs), Historically Black Colleges/Universities (HBCU), and Hispanic Serving Institutes (HSI) was established in 2006, and is part of the agency’s Minority Serving Institutions Program (MSIP). The MSIP is administered by NRC’s Office of Small Business and Civil Rights.
Goals
The goal of MSIP and NRC offices is to help achieve the Federal Government's science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) workforce development and diversity inclusion initiatives. The MSIP's measurable objectives are to assist MSIs in their efforts to 1) achieve academic excellence, 2) build capability, capacity and infrastructure, 3) develop human capital, 4) gain knowledge and skills needed to compete for grants, cooperative agreements, contracts and resources, 5) participate in federal and public programs, and 6) produce a diverse skilled workforce.
