About this program
The Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy funds environmental monitoring, cleanup, cultural and resource management, emergency response research, outreach, and technical analysis under CFDA 81.256, with the most recent grant award issued on September 14, 2023. This program provides technical and financial assistance to the State of Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation and local government entities for projects supporting DOE's mission.
Grant activity is sparse. Two awards were made in 2023 (August 1 and September 14), totaling $232 thousand in federal obligations against a combined total of $332 thousand when including non-federal cost-share. No grant awards have been disbursed since September 2023. The portfolio consists of a single Cooperative Agreement and a single Project Grant in equal measure. The Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy has issued 100 percent of awards under the program.

The University of Utah received a $132.4 thousand Cooperative Agreement in August 2023 for ethnohistorical and oral history research on Shoshone and Bannock peoples' use of INL site lands, with completion targeted for February 2026.
