It is clearly established in a report by President’s Council of Advisors on Science and Technology (PCAST) that there is an enduring need to produce more college graduates in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). In the last five years, PVAMU has led an efforts to establish an international collaboration in educating the next generation of high caliber STEM scholars. Sponsored though Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program (MSIPP) from US Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA), PVAMU worked with 7 other HBCUs and 2 national lab trained closer to 300 PVAMU students and established collaborations beyond the consortium circle such as with Indiana University, Iowa State University, Tennessee State University, Texas Tech University, the University of Texas at San Antonio, Texas A&M University (College Station), the University of Mississippi, Louisiana State University, Central Michigan University, InterAmerican University of Puerto Rico, Livermore National Lab, and Los Alamos National Lab and Ningbo University of Technology (NBUT), Kunming University of Science and Technology (KUST). PVAMU successfully implemented a peer-led hierarchy training (PLHT) model that led to more than 10 peer reviewed journal articles with students and more than 40 research posters and presentations at local, regional and national scientific conferences.<br/>
