The University of Houston System, through its University of Houston-Downtown (UHD) campus, was awarded a $188,281 project grant from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Minority Serving Institutions Program (CFDA 77.007). The grant, awarded on May 15, 2024, supports scholarships, research, and educational programming in nuclear-related fields including radiochemistry, engineering technology, chemical sensors, and cybersecurity. As a minority-serving and Hispanic-serving institution, UHD will use the funding to increase participation and capabilities of underrepresented groups in these STEM disciplines relevant to nuclear safety, security, and regulatory policy. The grant will provide scholarships, as well as support curriculum development, mentoring, and infrastructure improvements to enhance UHD's nuclear-focused educational and research initiatives over the 2-year project period ending on March 28, 2026.
