R -- HAMPTON UNIVERSITY POC Point of Contact: Cassandra R. Freeman, Contract Specialist, Code 253:CRF, (703) 696-2591. The Department of Defense through the Office of Naval Research has a requirement for a technical assistance program to promote increased participation of Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) in Department of Defense education programs. Sole source negotiations of a grant will be conducted with the Hampton University, Hampton, VA. This effort involves the management and administration of the Office of Naval Research-Historically Black Colleges and Universities Graduate Fellowship Program. Graduates of HBCUs compete for fellowships to pursue graduate study in the fields of science and engineering. Hampton University as an HBCU institution, has the experience and personnel needed to administer the program. Due to the breadth and depth of its personnel and technical expertise, the Hampton University was selected as the most logical source of experience required to administer the program. This will be a three year effort. See Note 22. (0284)
