The Minority Research Centers of Excellence (MRCE) program was established in FY 1987 to provide substantial resources to upgrade the research capabilities of the strongest and most productive predominantly minority institutions. This planning grant project lays the foundation for a plan that will increase the institution's quality of research and research-related training. Specifically, support for this project will permit the establishment of an MRCE advisory committee of scientists and engineers, local leaders, and industrial representatives who will assist the institution in evaluating its current and future potential for performing meritorious research during the next five years. Jackson State University will develop strategies to strengthen research in chemical physics and nuclear magnetic resonance. In addition, cooperative program with the Lawerence Laboratories at Berkeley and Livermore will be reassesed. Dual degree programs in chemistry and chemical engineering will be implemented with the California Institute of Technology at Davis and Santa Barbara. This institution has the facilities and personnel to develop a Minority Research Center of Excellence. The Foundation has supported this project because the proposed work can lead to the performance of meritorious research and will increase the participation of minorities in science and engineering.

少数族裔卓越研究中心 (MRCE) 计划成立于 1987 财年，旨在提供大量资源来提升最强大、最具生产力的少数族裔机构的研究能力。 该规划拨款项目为提高该机构研究和研究相关培训质量的计划奠定了基础。 具体来说，对该项目的支持将允许建立一个由科学家和工程师、当地领导人和工业代表组成的 MRCE 咨询委员会，他们将协助该机构评估其当前和未来在未来五年内开展有价值研究的潜力。 杰克逊州立大学将制定战略加强化学物理和核磁共振研究。 此外，与伯克利和利弗莫尔劳伦斯实验室的合作项目也将重新评估。 化学和化学工程双学位项目将与加州理工学院戴维斯分校和圣巴巴拉分校共同实施。 该机构拥有建立少数族裔卓越研究中心的设施和人员。 基金会支持该项目，因为拟议的工作可以带来有价值的研究成果，并将增加少数族裔对科学和工程的参与。
