May 14, 2019 | Rackham Graduate School Categories: News The Rackham Graduate School, with support from the Provost’s office, launched a grant program to support relationship-building between U-M graduate and professional programs and Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs). The MSI Outreach and Planning Grant and MSI Collaboration and Implementation Grant programs center on building institutional rapport, trust, and mutually beneficial collaborations with MSIs, with the long-term goal of recruiting and enrolling students into U-M graduate and professional programs. This cohort of grant recipients is collaborating with MSI partners on a number projects, including the development of accelerated master’s courses, faculty exchanges, and joint research collaborations—among many other efforts. We look forward to providing updates on the developments of the initiatives and the relationships that are cultivated and strengthened as a result. A total of 14 proposals were received for the eight available awards and, after a challenging review process, the review committee selected the following U-M units and their Minority Serving Institution collaborators for the 2019-2020 grant period: Outreach and Planning: Department of Cell and Developmental Biology/Program in Biomedical Sciences, Medical School Morehouse College and Xavier University Department of Climate and Space Engineering, College of Engineering University of Puerto Rico Department of Molecular and Integrative Physiology, Medical School University of North Carolina at Pembroke School of Public Health Morehouse College Department of Political Science, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts Jackson State University Collaboration and Implementation: College of Pharmacy Spelman College Fisk University Morgan State University Xavier University Taubman College of Architecture and Urban Planning Hampton University Morgan State University Departments of American Culture and History, College of Literature, Science, and the Arts University of New Mexico Spelman College Morehouse College Tags: Minority Serving Institutions
