- This $1.5 million project grant from the National Science Foundation Office of International Science and Engineering, under the CFDA 47.079 program, will fund research into underground hydrogen storage solutions. Over four tasks, the University of California, Berkeley will investigate the scientific, economic, and social implications of geologic hydrogen storage to enable a transition to renewable energy sources. Specifically, the university will conduct experiments to understand chemical and...
This $1,000,000 federal Project Grant award from the National Science Foundation's STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076) aims to expand access to careers in the hydrogen energy sector. The award, granted to Worcester Polytechnic Institute (WPI), will establish the "BEGINNINGS: NORTHEAST EXPERIENTIAL TRAINING ON HYDROGEN ADVANCEMENTS THROUGH MENTORSHIP, PROJECT INTEGRATION, OPERATION, AND NETWORKING - THE NEXT CHAMPION PROGRAM". This initiative will build a regional hydrogen workforce pipeline by providing two-year college students with advanced training opportunities, industry internships, and job placement services. The program utilizes a "RAMP" (Recruitment-Awareness-Mentorship-Post-Internship) model and features hands-on learning, mentoring, and immersive internships at industry partner sites. The goal is to strengthen the energy workforce and ensure that opportunities in hydrogen technologies are open to all Americans, with a focus on non-traditional learners. The award period runs from October 1, 2025, to September 30, 2028.
