The Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program (MSIPP) is designed to build a sustainable pipeline between the Department of Energy's (DOE) sites/labs and minority-serving institutions in STEM disciplines and bring heightened awareness of NNSA plants and laboratories to institutions with a common interest in STEM research fields.
