The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $1,100,000 Project Grant under the Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration program (CFDA 81.121) with a performance period from August 1, 2024 through September 30, 2027. The funding supports comprehensive research, development, and demonstration initiatives to advance nuclear energy science and technology in the United States. The University of Michigan is the prime awardee and will partner with Eastern Washington University to conduct this project.
According to the sub-award details, the project will take a "reparative lens" and focus on learning from overburdened communities and their experiences with the DOE, with the aim of facilitating psychological healing and fostering community agency. The research team plans to work with community coordinators appointed by the participating communities to carry out oral histories and small group listening sessions. The goal is to support a decentralized, co-creative project structure that directs the research funding to the participating communities.
