HBCU/MI Student Internship and Faculty Fellowship Program

The DoD HBCU/MI Summer Research Program aims to increase the number of minority scientists and engineers throughout the Department of Defense. The initiative encourages students in STEM disciplines, guides them toward advanced studies, and prepares them for careers in science and engineering fields important to the defense mission. Motivated students, both undergraduate and graduate, are placed for a 10-week research experience at DoD facilities across the nation. Under the supervision of DoD scientists and engineers, students conduct research relevant to the defense mission. To view a playback of the 2021 Summer Research Program, visit DoDSTEM.
