The university of central florida board of trustees project title: partners: partnership and training for nnsa engineering and relevant sciences project objectives: create synergistic advantages through collaboration within the consortium to enhance stem capacity, engineering capability, and research experience within the nuclear security enterprise • build a self-sustainable consortium that ensures equitable representation among minority and underrepresented students to mitigate discrepancies in the career potential of marginalized groups conduct state-of-the-art research to minimize knowledge and technical gaps within the nnsa. Create a self-sustainable setup where the education and research in nnsa-relevant sciences continue to grow and serve the interest of DOE/nnsa. This will be carried out by: O attracting the brightest and most talented young researchers for exciting DOE/nnsa careers O facilitating student engagement at DOE/nnsa laboratories and sites O bridging professional development gaps O enabling tangible financial benefits for students completing the requirements of partners O training future engineers through collaborations between partners faculty and nnsa laboratories
