Description
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) is an independent agency, established by the Energy Reorganization Act of 1974, tasked with licensing and regulating the Nation’s civilian use of byproduct, source, and special nuclear material to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety, to promote the common defense and security, and to protect the environment. Funding under this opportunity includes support for nuclear science, engineering, and related disciplines to develop a workforce capable of the design, construction, operation, and regulation of nuclear facilities and the safe handling of nuclear materials. This announcement is for Faculty Development Grants. Related announcements for undergraduate scholarships, graduate fellowships, and trade school or community college scholarships are published separately. The Faculty Development Grants Program recognizes the need to attract, recruit or retain highly-qualified individuals in academic teaching careers. Funding under this announcement is intended to support faculty and their research in the nuclear-related fields of Nuclear Engineering, Health Physics, Radiochemistry and related disciplines as determined by the NRC. The grants specifically target probationary, tenure-track faculty in these academic areas during the first 6 years of their career. Grants may include support for developing applications for research and amounts for initiating or continuing research projects in their areas of expertise. Other areas might include course development, equipment stipends, participation in professional society meetings, preparation of papers, travel, and support for graduate assistants, and associated expenses as related to research projects or an institution’s faculty development plan. Awards may be increased to the extent that a portion of the award is matched by the institution. The program intends to provide support to enable new faculty to enhance their careers as professors and researchers in the University department where employed.
