Posted By: Reginald Culpepper on September 19, 2025 From developing quantum-secure safeguards for the Internet of Things to designing smarter, safer transportation systems and creating new pathways to keep more students in STEM, Morgan State University is tackling some of society’s most urgent challenges through newly awarded support from the National Science Foundation (NSF). Totaling nearly $5 million, the funding awarded support six research projects at Morgan that will strengthen national cybersecurity, expand opportunities for students in science and engineering, and push the boundaries of mathematics and physics while improving how cities function, and provide pathways for student success and retention. Together, these efforts promise wide-reaching benefits, including bolstering U.S. infrastructure against emerging cyber threats, enhancing safety and energy efficiency in future smart cities, building sustainable research capacity at Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), and preparing the next generation of competitive STEM leaders. “At Morgan, we are steadfast in our commitment to conducting research that not only advances science but also transforms communities,” said David K. Wilson, president of Morgan. “These new NSF investments in Morgan ingenuity, resourcefulness and inventiveness underscore our ascendency as a leading urban research university—one that produces solutions to society’s greatest challenges while preparing the next generation of innovators. As we continue on our path toward R1 status, it is with great intention that Morgan will represent a national model for purposeful, public-impact research.” The six NSF grants span a diverse portfolio of disciplines, uniting faculty and student researchers in work that addresses urgent societal challenges while building new models for innovation and student retention in STEM.
