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.  Hampton University will conduct an                 assessment and evaluation of strengths and weaknesses of basic science          and engineering disciplines in the School of Pure and Applied                   Sciences.  In addition, collaborative relationships with Federal                laboratories and corporate organizations will be explored.                                                                                                      Hampton University has the facilities and personnel to develop a                Minority Research Center of Excellence.  The Foundation has supported           this project because the proposed work will lead to meritorious                 research in the pure and applied sciences and will increase the                 participation of minorities in science and engineering.
