The RRTC works with minority-serving institutions to enhance their faculty scholars’ and students’ research skills and address research infrastructure challenges such as library research resources, office of sponsored program and Institutional Review Board operations, invisible research center findings, and seed monies to jump-start research. Additionally, the project works with six minority entities to address research infrastructure challenges and enhance the research skills of their individual faculty scholars and students.
