Description
The NRC Nuclear Education Grant Program’s primary purpose is supporting and developing the educational infrastructure necessary to allow the Nation to safely move its nuclear energy initiatives forward. The program promotes and strengthens teaching programs in nuclear safety, nuclear security, nuclear environmental protection, and other fields that the Commission determines to be critical to the NRC’s regulatory mission by enhancing curricula and increasing faculty teaching competencies at higher education institutions. The NRC anticipates having up to $4.7 million available for this announcement. Projects may develop, revise, implement, or improve nuclear education infrastructure, teaching competencies, subject matter expertise, and skills in serving students in significant nuclear programs. Projects should identify innovative instructional approaches or techniques to enhance student learning, including distance education and experiential learning. Emphasis may be on developing stand-alone modules or entire courses of study, curricula, individual courses, and teaching materials. Projects may include limited acquisitions of equipment directly associated with implementing new curricula or programs. Curriculum development projects may create teaching resources such as course materials and teaching guides on specific nuclear topics. Materials may use print or electronic formats, however NRC cannot fund preparing or publishing traditional textbooks. Projects must have an academic focus within the areas of nuclear safety, nuclear security, nuclear environmental protection, or the other fields the Commission determines to be critical to the NRC’s regulatory mission.
