About Us

Our Vision

By 2028, the Trusted Capabilities and Readiness Development Foundation will become the nation’s preeminent model for HBCUs, as they conduct federal government research and contracts.

Our Mission

The mission of TCRDF is to build the capacity of small, emerging, higher learning institutions in federal research and contracting.

Our Method

TCRDF works with small, new emerging, higher learning, undergraduate-focused colleges and universities to help create partnerships between those institutions and public/private organizations focused on research and workforce development.

Our Priority

We primarily focus on institutions with 3,000 or fewer students.
