HBCU/MI Program within U.S. Army

• The Historically Black Colleges/Universities and
  Minority Institutions (HBCUs/MIs) are a source of
  accomplishment and great pride for the African
  American community and the Nation. The Army
  initiated its HBCU/MI program in 1987 in response
  to Public Law 99-661,section 1207. This
  particular section outlined the 5 contract goal
  for minorities for contracts and subcontracts
  entered into with Small Business Concerns, HBCU
  and MI in Fiscal Years 1987, 1988 and 1989. The
  goal for contracting was applicable to funds
  obligated for procurement, research, development,
  test, evaluation, military construction and
  operation and maintenance. Since implementing the
  contracting goal the Army has successfully
  provided more than 176.7M in program support to
  HBCU/MI. The Army has worked diligently to
  strengthen the relationship between the Army
  Laboratories and Research Centers and the HBCU/MI
  community
