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. Alabama State University will develop strategies to strengthen its mathematical sciences research program. The institution will also implement summer institutes and other activities to involve college and high school teachers, and minority undergraduate and high school students in selected areas of improvement. This institution has the facilities and personnel to make an impact on improving research and related educational activities in the mathematical sciences. The Foundation has supported this project because the proposed work will increase the participation of minorities in mathematics at several levels in the educational pipeline.

少数民族卓越研究中心方案成立于1987财政年度，目的是提供大量资源，以提高以少数民族为主的最强大和最有成效的机构的研究能力。这一规划赠款项目为一项计划奠定了基础，该计划将提高该机构的研究和与研究有关的培训的质量。具体地说，对该项目的支持将允许建立一个由科学家和工程师、当地领导人和行业代表组成的MRCE咨询委员会，该委员会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。阿拉巴马州立大学将制定战略，加强其数学科学研究项目。该机构还将实施暑期研习班和其他活动，让大学和高中教师以及少数族裔本科生和高中生参与选定的改进领域。该机构拥有在改善数学科学研究和相关教育活动方面产生影响的设施和人员。基金会之所以支持这一项目，是因为拟议的工作将在教育渠道的几个级别增加少数群体对数学的参与。
