The University of California, Merced received a $2,884,331 Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM) under the Minority Economic Impact (CFDA 81.137) program. The grant, awarded on April 1, 2024, is for the DOE-EM Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program (MSIPP), which aims to enhance the participation and sustainability of Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Minority-Owned Businesses (MBEs) in energy and STEM sectors within the DOE complex. Through this award, UC Merced will provide a range of products and services, including curriculum development, professional development programs, and research opportunities to support workforce diversity and STEM engagement for underrepresented groups. The university's expertise in fields such as environmental sciences, climate science, and public health will contribute to the program's objectives of promoting career pathways and increasing the involvement of minority institutions in energy-related disciplines.
