The emphasis of the MORE programs should be to increase the number of URM students with Ph.D.'s with an emphasis to increase the number of faculty in colleges and universities.

The primary focus of MORE programs should be the training of students and post-doctoral fellows.

MORE programs at non-research minority serving institutions should be used primarily to support teaching and developing research competence at these schools.

To increase awareness that MORE program funding for student training can be accessed by all institutions that educate and train URM.
