NASA's Office of Equal Opportunity
Programs (Code E) established the Minority University Research
and Education Division (MURED) in 1990 to increase the Agency's
responsiveness to Federal mandates related to historically black colleges
and universities (HBCU) and other minority universities (OMU), including
hispanic serving institutions and tribal colleges an universities.
MURED is responsible for formulating and executing the Agency's Minority
University Research and Education Program (MUREP) budget, developing
Agencywide policies, procedures, and guidelines that enhance the involvement
of HBCU and OMU in the Agency's mission.
It is through MURED that quality programs are funded and fully executed through the Office of Diversity and Equal Opportunity and Academic Affairs Offices.
