I'm proud to champion this House companion with Representatives Hill, McCormick, and Figures and alongside Sen. Rev. Warnock and Sen. Britt in the Senate to ensure HBCUs receive the funding they have earned.

Adams commits to championing the HBCU Research Capacity Act, which would improve HBCUs' access to federal research funding.

Evidence

The House member’s office said on May 14, 2026 that Rep. Alma Adams reintroduced the Institutional Grants for New Infrastructure, Technology, and Education for Historically Black College and University Excellence Act (IGNITE HBCU Excellence Act), H.R. 8791.

Within the lookback window, Adams took a concrete legislative action aligned with the promise by reintroducing an HBCU grant-focused bill. This is strong evidence of active championing, but it does not show enactment or direct action on the exact named act.

The promise was to champion the specific HBCU Research Capacity Act. The available evidence shows Rep. Alma Adams took a concrete, same-term legislative step by reintroducing the IGNITE HBCU Excellence Act in May 2026, which is closely aligned with expanding HBCU access to federal grant opportunities. That supports active advocacy on the issue, but it does not show clear action on the exact named act or a completed policy outcome tied to that promise. Given the federal legislative context, this is best scored as partial rather than full delivery.
