少数民族卓越研究中心（MRCE）计划 成立于1987财政年度，提供大量资源，以升级 最强和最具生产力的研究能力 主要是少数民族机构。 这项计划拨款项目奠定了 一项提高机构质量的计划的基础 研究和与研究有关的培训。 具体而言，支持 该项目将允许建立一个MRCE咨询 科学家和工程师，地方领导人和工业委员会 代表谁将协助该机构在评估其 当前和未来进行有价值研究的潜力 在接下来的五年里。 南方大学将评估其 现有的科学和工程基础以及 该机构将成为卓越的少数民族研究中心。 在 此外，与路易斯安那州立大学的几个双学位课程 在联合健康，化学，和工程的几个程序将 重新审视。 该机构有设施和人员来开发一个 少数民族研究中心。 基金会支持 该项目，因为拟议的工作可以导致的性能 值得研究，并将增加少数群体的参与 在科学和工程领域。

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. Southern University will assess its existing science and engineering base and the potential for the institution to become a Minority Research Center of Excellence. In addition, several dual degree programs with Louisiana State University in Allied Health, Chemistry, and several programs in Engineering will be reexamined. 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.
