In June 2015 Morgan signed an Educational Partnership Agreement with the U.S. Naval Air Command and a partnership agreement with the New York Academy of Sciences
to pursue joint efforts in research and workforce development in science, technology, engineering, and math (STEM) areas.
In September 2015 the State of Maryland’s Department of Commerce awarded Morgan $150,000 to restart its oyster hatchery, which is now helping Maryland’s
private sector to establish its first commercial oyster hatchery.
For 2016 Morgan State University’s faculty received over $1.2M in awards from the National Science Foundation.
In 2016 the National Security Agency designated Morgan State University as a Center of Academic Excellence in Cyber Security Education.
Morgan renewed an $18M contract to provide scientific research services at NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center.
On the economic development front,
Morgan State University is a member of the consortium of the state’s five research universities for the Maryland Innovation Initiative under the Maryland Technology Development Corporation (TEDCO) to commercialize university research for start-up ventures in the state. In summary, Morgan State University is
growing its research enterprise and leading the way in innovation as part of Baltimore’s cultural and technological renaissance.

Dr. Gary L. Harris Associate Provost for Research and Graduate Studies Howard University
National Science Foundation (NSF) Center Integrated for Quantum Materials have developed new materials that are adding to our understanding of quantum keying and quantum computing. There are over 20 new and
exciting areas of discovery and research that Howard faculty, staff,
and students are working on. The programs at Howard are working on all types of global problems and research. They include new apps for cell- phone applications (i.e., Sugar Apple), nanotechnology, biotechnology, cyber security and the Internet of Things, drug development, new clinical treatment techniques, architectural lighting technology, and electrical fault detection, residential energy efficiency, and coal, clean coal, mercury elimination. Howard University has a major effort in Innovation, Commercialization,
Creativity, and Entrepreneurship (IC2E). Howard is working hard to create an IC2E Ecology System to foster major growth in this area. The program involves IP protection and licensing, industrial partners, start-up creation, close coupling with educational missions, a configurable open lab, and experts-in-residence. Below are some programs and people who are working hard in this space:

Spirit of Entrepreneurship Howard University is proud to announce the appointment of Monique Greenwood, a trailblazing journalist and visionary business owner, as the John H. Johnson Endowed Chair of Entrepreneurship. The two-year stint began April 2016, and the chair is housed in the School of Communications with university-wide outreach. The endowed chair will collaborate with other university entities, such as the Small Business Development Center, the newly launched Innovation Hub on Georgia Avenue, and the deans of schools across campus to foster a spirit of entrepreneurship. Coordinating workshops and a speaker series for undergraduate and graduate students, as well as alumni and local small businesses, is also part of the charge.
