Board of Regents, faculty, staff, and students, a path was developed for the university. Enti- tled “Growing the Future, Leading the World – Strategic Plan for Morgan State University 2011–2021,” it had five strategic goals. Morgan is currently designated by Carnegie Classification as a Doctoral Research University–Moderate Research Activity; however, as implied by the Strategic Plan, Morgan aspires to be an institution designated by Carnegie Classification as a Doctoral Research–Higher Research Activity. Morgan also aspires to “grow its resources” and, in particular, to grow the revenue stream accrued from research grants and contracts.

In 2013 we established the Division of Research and Economic Development. Through the ingenuity and commitment of our faculty, students, and staff, Morgan is establishing well-deserved visibility for its research prowess.
Morgan State University has seen increases in awarded grants and contracts from $29M in FY2013 to $32.2M in FY16.
Morgan signed an Educational Partnership Agreement in 2013 with the U.S. Naval Sea Systems Command (NAVSEA), which has led to contract research on battery technology with NAVSEA Indian Hill that is critical to our nation’s Naval Air Force.
Morgan signed a $500,000 agreement in 2014 for student research internships and faculty research with the Whiting School of Engineering at the Johns Hopkins University as a part of their research contract with the U.S. Army in the area of extreme materials.
Dr. John Holdren, the director of the White House Office of Science and Technology Policy, visited in February 2014 to meet with faculty, students, and the administration to discuss research and the role Morgan plays nationally in the research community.
A five-year, $24.3M cooperative agreement award was received from the National Institutes of Health (NIH) to establish a pipeline program for undergraduate students to become exposed to research and to pursue
