The Minority Serving – Cyberinfrastructure Consortium (MS-CC) envisions a transformational partnership to promote advanced cyberinfrastructure (IT for research) capabilities on the campuses of historically Black colleges and universities (HBCUs), tribal colleges and universities (TCUs), and other minority serving institutions (MSIs). The MS-CC focuses on building a trusted community among institutions to advance community and capacity building, workforce development, and research support and acceleration.
We believe that diversity, equity, and inclusion are essential for a robust and thriving research and education community. Our work is driven by the desire to ensure the equal participation of Historically Black Colleges and Universities, Tribal Colleges and Universities, and the broader community of Minority Serving Institutions in the United States within the national and global research and education communities. To accomplish this, the MS-CC focuses on building a trusted community among institutions to advance the following efforts: community and capacity building; workforce development; and research support and acceleration.
