Welcome to the Center for HBCU Research, Leadership, and Policy!
The Center for HBCU Research, Leadership, and Policy at Howard University aims to build a community of HBCU and HBCU-allied researchers whose scholarship informs higher education leadership, policy, and practice.
Research at the HBCU Center
Research at the HBCU Center advances scholarship that strengthens Historically Black Colleges and Universities and highlights their enduring contributions to higher education. The Center cultivates a collaborative community of HBCU and HBCU-ally scholars, practitioners, and leaders who conduct research affirming leadership, amplifying policy impact, and advancing institutional resilience.
Our work is guided by three core values, affirming the centrality of HBCUs in the production and dissemination of knowledge, amplifying HBCUs as exemplars of institutional resilience and agents of social change, and advocating for perspectives, policies, and practices that are inclusive, just, and transformative, which shape every project, partnership, and publication.
Together, these values reflect our belief that research is not only a tool for understanding but also a catalyst for innovation, and collective progress across the HBCU ecosystem.
