Opportunity Information: Apply for ED GRANTS 033023 001
The Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP), Assistance Listing Number 84.120A, is a discretionary grant opportunity from the U.S. Department of Education, Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE) under the Higher Education Programs (HEP) umbrella. The program is aimed at strengthening science and engineering education in settings that primarily serve minority students, with an emphasis on creating lasting, long-range improvements rather than short-term fixes. A central goal is to expand participation of underrepresented ethnic minorities in science and technology fields, and it places particular attention on supporting minority women as they prepare for and enter scientific and technological careers. All activities funded under this program are expected to align with federal civil rights laws and nondiscrimination requirements.
In practical terms, MSEIP supports projects that help institutions build stronger STEM pathways and improve outcomes in science and engineering disciplines. While the synopsis does not list specific allowable activities, the program purpose signals that competitive proposals will typically focus on measurable improvements in STEM education capacity, student preparation, persistence, and progression into STEM careers or advanced study. The Department stresses that applicants should rely on the official Federal Register application notice for the complete set of requirements, including the program priorities, performance measures, and the exact rules for submitting an application. Applicants are also directed to follow the Department of Education Revised Common Instructions for Applicants to Discretionary Grant Programs (published December 7, 2022) for standardized guidance on how and where to submit applications.
Eligibility is broad across higher education and nonprofit sectors. Eligible applicants include public and state-controlled institutions of higher education, private institutions of higher education, nonprofit organizations with 501(c)(3) status (that are not institutions of higher education), and nonprofit organizations without 501(c)(3) status (also not institutions of higher education). The listing also includes an "Others" category, with the note that applicants should consult the official notice for clarification about any additional eligible entities or special eligibility conditions.
Key dates provided in the opportunity synopsis indicate that applications became available on March 30, 2023, with a deadline to transmit applications by May 30, 2023. The deadline for intergovernmental review is listed as July 28, 2023. The Department also planned a pre-application webinar for prospective applicants, with details to be posted on the program website (http://www2.ed.gov/programs/iduesmsi/index.html).
