About this opportunity
The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration is seeking applications for the Fiscal Year 2025 University Reactor Sharing and Outreach program. The key objectives are to strengthen nuclear science and engineering education, increase collaboration among faculty and students, improve community awareness of nuclear technologies, and engage underrepresented communities in STEM fields related to nuclear energy. Eligible applicants are higher education institutions, both public and private, that own nuclear research reactors. Applications are due by October 16, 2024, and DOE plans to notify selected applicants for award negotiations by March 31, 2025. The program will be evaluated based on the applicant's ability to meet the stated objectives.
DOE anticipates awarding approximately $1 million in grants, with a maximum of $200,000 per award. The program is funded under the DOE's Nuclear Energy Research, Development and Demonstration grant program (CFDA 81.121). Projects are expected to have a duration of up to two years, beginning August 1, 2025.
