The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $3,004,946 Project Grant to Rutgers, The State University of New Jersey (Rutgers-Newark) on April 1, 2024 under the Minority Economic Impact program (CFDA 81.137). This grant, part of the DOE Office of Environmental Management's Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program (MSIPP), will fund activities to enhance the participation and sustainability of minority-serving institutions and minority-owned businesses in energy and STEM sectors aligned with DOE's environmental management mission.
The grant will support Rutgers-Newark in developing curriculum, conducting research projects, implementing training programs, and facilitating internships and other STEM workforce initiatives. These activities aim to increase diversity in the STEM pipeline and support the growth of minority-serving institutions and minority-owned businesses in energy-related fields. As part of this project, Rutgers-Newark has issued a $693,546 sub-grant to the California State University Long Beach Research Foundation to train a diverse cohort of hydrogeophysicists to address soil and groundwater contamination challenges across the DOE complex.
