    I think the idea is that in order for private companies to take the money, some of it has to go to HBCU as research contracts. Biden can’t just decided to tell a school to research some niche chip topic. The researchers leading the project have to hit a wall, and work with universities to research and solve it…

    Yeah the article could explain way better. The big money for schools these days, besides grant money, is private partnerships. That’s what I think is going on here.

      I read an article from NIST itself about it, and that does indeed seem to be the case.
