The University of Central Florida Board of Trustees has been awarded a $1,249,855 project grant from the National Nuclear Security Administration's (NNSA) Minority Serving Institutions (MSI) Partnership Program (CFDA 81.123). The project, titled "PARTNERS: Partnership and Training for NNSA Engineering and Relevant Sciences," aims to create synergistic advantages through collaboration within a consortium to enhance STEM capacity, engineering capability, and research experience within the nuclear security enterprise. Key objectives include building a self-sustainable consortium that ensures equitable representation among minority and underrepresented students, conducting state-of-the-art research to minimize knowledge and technical gaps within the NNSA, and creating a self-sustainable setup where education and research in NNSA-relevant sciences continue to grow and serve the interests of the Department of Energy and NNSA. The project period runs from September 15, 2024, to September 14, 2029.
