U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Faculty Development Grant HR-FN-1208-NED02
Program Summary
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 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 small 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.
Awards are for $100,000 total costs per year for each faculty recipient plus up to an additional $50,000 per year that is awarded to the extent matched by the institution for up to three years. The maximum amount of funding that NRC will award for an application may not exceed $150,000 total costs per year, provided that an additional $50,000 is fully matched by the institution (for a total of $200,000 per year given full match of $50,000 per year from the institution).
UIC is restricted to one application.
