Project Grant DENA0004155

The federal Project Grant award, in the amount of $1,074,517, was provided by the Department of Energy/National Nuclear Security Administration (DOE/NNSA) to the Henry L. Stimson Center, a non-profit foreign affairs think tank located in Washington, D.C. The grant's objective is to develop a cross-cutting suite of South Asia-related research and outreach activities designed to further three key DOE/NNSA and U.S. government goals: 1) capacity-building efforts with regional policymakers and rising...

The Department of State's Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation awarded King's College London a $137,500 cooperative agreement under the Global Threat Reduction program (CFDA 19.033) to conduct workshops from April 2022 through December 2023 aimed at mitigating risks associated with Russian and Chinese nuclear reactor exports and floating nuclear power plant deployments in Southeast Asia, with a focus on the Philippines. The Global Threat Reduction program supports...

The Department of State Bureau of International Security and Nonproliferation awarded a $1.972 million Project Grant to the International Science And Technology Center to support emigre scientists via research grants and organize seminars to support small modular reactor capacity building efforts from October 1, 2022 to December 31, 2023. This award is being administered under the Department of State's Global Threat Reduction program (CFDA 19.033), which supports nonproliferation programs...

This Project Grant award from the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy (CFDA 81.121 - Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration) provides $200,000 to Purdue University to support the "University Reactor Sharing and Outreach (RS & O)" program. The objectives of this initiative are to: (1) strengthen nuclear science and engineering curriculum at universities without research reactors, (2) increase collaboration opportunities in nuclear research, (3)...

The federal Cooperative Agreement award, funded by the Advanced Research Projects Agency - Energy (ARPA-E) program (CFDA 81.135), provides $600,000.00 to the Atlantic Council of the United States, Inc. (the Atlantic Council) to address challenges in the U.S. nuclear fuel cycle. Under this 3-year effort, the Atlantic Council will leverage its team of nonresident senior fellows with nuclear energy policy expertise to conduct research, host stakeholder workshops, and produce strategic policy...

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) awarded a $5,000,000 Cooperative Agreement on March 15, 2025 to the Georgia Tech Research Corporation under the Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research (CFDA 81.113) program. The agreement, titled "Consortium for Enabling Technologies and Innovation 2.0," is a 5-year initiative to direct multidisciplinary research and innovation that enable the technologies supporting NNSA's defense nuclear nonproliferation R&D. The project aims...

The National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) awarded a $299,492 Project Grant to Purdue University under the Stewardship Science Grant Program (CFDA 81.112) to conduct experimental investigations of the fundamental reaction dynamics of cerium particles in hydrogen gas environments. The project aims to close critical knowledge gaps in current models of cerium hydride particle reactions, which are highly speculative and do not align with measured radiative temperature values. Through this...

This Project Grant award from the Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) under the Stewardship Science Grant Program (CFDA 81.112) provides $259,866 in funding to the University of South Florida (USF) for a three-year period from May 2025 to May 2028. The award supports fundamental scientific research relevant to maintaining the safety, security, and effectiveness of the U.S. nuclear weapons stockpile, focusing on areas such as materials properties under extreme...

This Project Grant award for $300,000 from the U.S. Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) Stewardship Science Grant Program (CFDA 81.112) will support research at the University of Notre Dame to provide benchmark data for recent surrogate method work and continue indirect measurements of neutron capture reactions. The key objectives are to utilize a new particle-absorption reaction technique developed by the principal investigator to indirectly determine...

This $500,000 Project Grant award from the U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) under the NRC Scholarship and Fellowship Program (CFDA 77.008) is funding research by Carnegie Mellon University to establish fracture toughness criteria for qualifying laser powder bed fusion additive manufacturing in nuclear applications. The 3-year project aims to develop the necessary data, models, and standards to enable the use of this advanced manufacturing technique for nuclear components and...
