Summary

The bill establishes a Federal Clearinghouse within the Department of Education, coordinated with several other agencies, to list grant programs that historically Black colleges and universities can apply for and to provide guidance on building research capacity. It requires the Education Secretary to notify all eligible HBCUs and Congress about the clearinghouse and to offer quarterly updates to institutions that request them. Participating agencies must annually review their grant programs for alignment with the clearinghouse’s recommendations and report any gaps to Congress.
