"This MOU will serve as a means to create pilot or seed programs between the two institutions designed to attract research grants," said Provost and Vice President for Academic Affairs and Research Sunny Ohia. "Federal agencies are looking for greater collaboration among institutions and disciplines to address the major research issues. This partnership will facilitate a new level of collaboration between our institutions."
"UH and TSU look forward to strengthening our existing partnership and looking for more collaborative opportunities," Don Birx, vice president for research at the University of Houston, agrees. "With its HBCU (Historically Black Colleges and Universities) distinction, TSU can pursue research funding from special programs that might be strengthened by UH's expertise, so we look forward to finding new ways to work together."
