Additional Information on Eligibility: Eligible Applicants: The eligibility of an applicant is dependent on the type of MSEIP grant. There are four types of MSEIP grants: Institutional projects, special projects, cooperative, and design. Institutional project grants are grants that support the implementation of a comprehensive science improvement plan, which may include any combination of activities for improving the preparation of minority students for careers in science. There are two types of special projects grants. There are special projects grants for which minority institutions are eligible. These special projects grants support activities that: (1) Improve quality training in science and engineering at minority institutions; or (2) enhance the minority institutions' general scientific research capabilities. There are also special projects grants for which all applicants are eligible. These special projects grants support activities that: (1) Provide a needed service to a group of eligible minority institutions; or (2) provide in-service training for project directors, scientists, and engineers from eligible minority institutions. Cooperative project grants assist groups of nonprofit accredited colleges and universities to work together to conduct a science improvement program. Design project grants assist minority institutions that do not have their own appropriate resources or personnel to plan and develop long-range science improvement programs. We will not award design project grants in the FY 2011 competition. A. For institutional project grants, eligible applicants are limited to: (1) Public and private nonprofit institutions of higher education that (A) Award baccalaureate degrees; and (B) are minority institutions; (2) public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education that (A) Award associate degrees; and (B) are minority institutions that (i) Have a curriculum that includes science or engineering subjects; and (ii) enter into a partnership with public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education that award baccalaureate degrees in science and engineering.
