The Department of Energy (DOE) awarded a $200,000 Project Grant under the Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration program (CFDA 81.121) to the University of Florida Division of Sponsored Research. This 2-year grant, effective August 1, 2024, will support the "University Reactor Sharing and Outreach (RS & O)" initiative. The objectives are to: 1) strengthen nuclear science and engineering instruction at institutions without research reactors; 2) increase collaboration on nuclear research; 3) improve public awareness of nuclear science and technology; and 4) engage underrepresented communities to promote the nuclear energy workforce. Activities may include providing nuclear science laboratories, hosting reactor tours and teacher workshops, and leveraging the university's research reactor as a resource for education and specialized projects across the nuclear science community.
