NIH FY 2019 Small Business Goals

Why should HBCUs Contract With the Federal Government: • Public universities receive 43 percent of their revenues from grants, federal contracts, or appropriations on average, while HBCUs only receive approximately 1 percent • Private gifts, grants, and contracts make up a smaller percentage of overall revenue for private HBCUs relative to their non-HBCU counterparts (17 percent versus 25 percent) • Within both public and private sectors, HBCU endowments lag behind those of non-HBCUs by at least 70 percent; this gap jeopardizes an HBCU’s ability to buffer decreases in state and federal funding

Presidential Executive Order 13779: Initiative to Promote Excellence and Innovation at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) [Federal] agencies are to develop plans to − assist in strengthening HBCU’s ability to equitably participate in Federal programs; − encourage the private sector to improve the capacity of HBCUs; and − establish how the agency intend to increase the capacity of HBCUs to compete effectively for grants, contracts, or cooperative agreements. Extracted from White House Executive Order signed February 28, 2017

U. S. Department of Health and Human Services FY 2017 Minority-Serving Institutions Action Plan • FY 2015 – HHS committed $1. 88 billion to support MSI’s • “In FY 2017, HHS projected to dedicate $146. 1 million in funding to HBCUs and $9. 1 million to Predominantly Black Institutions (PBIs) primarily through grants, contracts, and cooperative agreements. ” • FY 2017 – Tribal Colleges & Universities - $5. 0 million • FY 2017 – Predominantly Black Institutions-$9. 1 million • FY 2017 – Historically Black Colleges & Universities-$146. 1 million • FY 2017 – Hispanic-Serving Institutions - $327. 2 million • FY 2017 - Asian American & Native American Pacific Islander - $623. 1 million • FY 2017 – American Indian and Alaska Native-Serving Institutions - $655. 3 million

The NIH Path to Excellence and Innovation

What is the Path to Excellence and Innovation? • A comprehensive plan to expand the existing National Institutes of Health (NIH) Small Business Program in the Office of Acquisition and Logistics Management (OALM). • It provides outreach, training, and technical assistance to HBCUs applying for NIH contracts. • Currently, there are six pilot schools and each school has chosen one or more Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) teaming partners to support their efforts in this pilot program.

2020 PEI Program Accomplishments: • • Conducted Pilot HBCU Curriculum Training with Howard University Successful partnership between Hampton University Proton Therapy Institute & the National Cancer Institute was highlighted at the Office of Management, All-Hands Meeting North and South Carolina HBCU Roundtable Georgia HBCU Roundtable The NIH Head of Contracting Activity (HCA) participated on the White House Presidential Board of Advisors panel Alfred Street Baptist Church MSI/HBCU Federal agency panel Organized the WHIHBCU Federal Contracting and Policy Cluster committees The PEI Database was highlighted in an Office of Management & Budget policy memorandum

What’s Next for the PEI Program 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. Identify NIH programs and initiatives where HBCUs are underrepresented and improve HBCUs participation within them; Develop a HBCU reference manual on How to Conduct Business with the Federal Government; Develop a comprehensive Strategic Plan for the PEI program Develop comprehensive Standard Operating Procedures for the PEI program; Develop a HBCU Curriculum for training HBCUs on the contracts and grants procedures; Develop a HBCU Portal for HBCUs to partner with MBEs to obtain opportunities in contracts and grants

• Several HBCUs have been awarded contracts by individual Federal agencies, however they fail to acquire a GSA multiple Award Schedule (MAS) Contract. General Services Administration (GSA) • The only HBCUs/MIs that are on GSA Schedules are: • Alabama A&M University Research, • Innovation, Science and Engineering Foundation, Inc. : 47 QRAA 19 D 002 C Fayetteville State University: 47 QRAA 19 D 0032 • Only a ½ percent of Federal contracting dollars in the pool of universities was received by HBCUs

Benefits of GSA Schedules is a $33 Billion dollar a year program. Professional Services generates roughly $9. 3 B. Schedules are the premier vehicle for government sales, including federal, state, and local government agencies. Gain a Competitive Advantage. Reduce administrative burden
