Description

The DOE Office of Nuclear Energy, Science and Technology (NE) has established the "Radiochemistry Education Award Program" (REAP) to provide matching funds to universities interested in improving the educational aspects of their radiochemistry education programs. The first series of Grants under this program were made to three universities in 1999. This new series of Grants is intended primarily to support programs at additional universities, however, current recipients are eligible to apply for continuation Grants. Awards which have been set at a maximum of $100,000 a year for a three-year period, can be used to support faculty salaries, postdoctoral students, graduate students, laboratory and equipment improvements, coursework and any suggested academic program enhancements in working with DOE facilities in radiochemical areas. In completing the application for this award, applicants need to be familiar with the following objectives: A. Proposed programs should support educational activities at the graduate-level. B. Special consideration should be given to programs that encourage interactions with ongoing DOE radiochemistry activities. In particular, interactions (e.g, summer or co-operative programs, internships), that include hands-on participation in radiochemistry activities at DOE facilities or being performed by projects supported by DOE are encouraged. C. Interdisciplinary programs which include combining science programs with engineering programs are strongly encouraged. In particular, Chemistry Departments working with Nuclear Engineering programs are encouraged to apply for participation in this program. D. The type of support requested should be designed to enhance the long-term viability of the radiochemistry program at the host university. An optimized mix among faculty, student and institutional support is encouraged.
