Participants must be enrolled in an undergraduate or graduate degree program at an eligible institution of higher education. Each grantee determines whether to serve undergraduate or graduate students. The McNair projects may only be sponsored by institutions of higher education. Future competitions for funding will be held every 4 years.
Subsequent funding is based on approval of a non-competing continuation application.
Prior experience points will be earned by grant applicants that have conducted a McNair project within three prior years of the next competition, in FY 1995. In the past, the Department has proposed that the McNair and the Minority Participation in Graduate Education programs be consolidated. Sources of Information Program files. Planned Studies None.
