NNSA Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program (MSIPP)
Supports workforce pathways in Tribal Colleges and minority-serving institutions through partnerships.
The NNSA Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program sits under the DOE Office of Science and funds capacity-building partnerships with Minority-Serving Institutions and Tribal Colleges and Universities. Its purpose is to build workforce pathways into National Nuclear Security Administration facilities, so the program functions as a talent and institutional pipeline rather than a general research grant. The program uses grant funding in the United States, with no published award size in the structured record. Eligibility is narrow: universities are required, while for-profit firms, nonprofits, individuals, and research organizations are not eligible. The current cycle pattern is rolling, and the latest notice referenced in the record was DE-FOA-0003285, which was closed at the time of capture. The strongest fit is a consortium that can connect institutional capacity, student training, and NNSA workforce needs. Applicants need a university-led structure and an MSI or TCU role at the center of the work, because the program is built around multi-institution partnerships and practical pathways into lab- and security-related careers.
