Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCU) continue to be a vital part of NASA's commitment to excellence in research and development and education. The NASA Administrator has reasserted the Agency's resolve for equal opportunity and diversity by noting, 'The quality of our workforce has always been the Agency's greatest assest. This quality can be further enhanced by creating a NASA that is fully reflective of our Nation's multicultural and talented population.' NASA established four measurable objectives to be accomplished during Fiscal Year (FY) 1997 and FY 1998. These objectives included establishing additional partnerships, increasing selections based on peer evaluation and merit review, increasing the number of HBCU students conducting research, and doubling the number of competitively selected Precollege Awards for Excellence in Mathematics, Science, Engineering and Technology to HBCUs. In FY 1997, we have accomplished the first two objectives and are making substantial progress towards achieving the next two objectives.
