NEW RESEARCH FRONTIER WITH PRINCETON UNIVERSITY PARTNERSHIP

In spring 2022, Prairie View A&M University announced its participation in a new research and innovation venture with Princeton University: the Princeton Alliance for Collaborative Research and Innovation (PACRI).

This program pairs a Princeton researcher with an Historically Black College or University (HBCU) researcher to co-lead a research or innovation project. “This Princeton University alliance is another phenomenal partnership for the outstanding researchers and innovators at Prairie View A&M,” said Vice President of R&I Magesh Rajan. “As a Carnegie R2 institution, PACRI opens another door of opportunity for our researchers to bring their unique and diverse perspectives into a collaborative effort that will impact an Ivy League institution and its students, while also amplifying the ingenuity and scholarly aptitude of PVAMU researchers and innovators.”

Princeton partnered with the United Negro College Fund to select five HBCUs for this inaugural venture that will pair Princeton researchers as co-leads with colleagues at PVAMU, Spelman College, Howard University, Jackson State University, and University of Maryland Eastern Shores.
