PROJECT TITLE: NUCLEAR SECURITY SCIENCE AND TECHNOLOGY CONSORTIUM
PROJECT DESCRIPTION: THE GOAL OF THE PROPOSED CONSORTIUM IS TO DEVELOP THE NNSA’S NEXT-GENERATION WORLD-CLASS STEM WORKFORCE. THE OBJECTIVES ARE (1) TO ENCOURAGE MINORITY STUDENTS TO EXCEL IN STEM PROVIDING THEM WITH PRACTICAL EXPERIENCE AND TRAINING IN THE AREA OF NUCLEAR SECURITY THROUGH APPLICABLE RESEARCH PROJECTS AND EXPERIENTIAL LEARNING, BRINGING A HEIGHTENED AWARENESS OF DOE/NNSA LABORATORIES TO ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS WITH A COMMON INTEREST IN STEM TOPICS; (2) TO STRENGTHEN RESEARCH AND EDUCATION CAPABILITIES OF MINORITY SERVING INSTITUTIONS PROVIDING OPPORTUNITIES FOR INTELLECTUAL CHALLENGE AND COLLABORATION BY PROMOTING SCIENTIST-TO-SCIENTIST INTERACTIONS BETWEEN THE ACADEMIC COMMUNITY AND THE DOE/NNSA LABORATORIES AND SITES, AND TO ENLARGE THE SCIENTIFIC AND TECHNICAL KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCE BASE OF MSI IN THE NUCLEAR SECURITY AREA; (3) TO DEVELOP AND MAINTAIN A LONG-TERM PIPELINE BETWEEN UNLV, UIC, UNM AND DOE/NNSA SITES AND LABORATORIES FOR RECRUITMENT AND RETENTION BY INCREASING THE VISIBILITY OF THE DOE/NNSA SCIENTIFIC ACTIVITIES TO MSI UNIVERSITIES, AND TO GROW THE NUMBER OF MINORITY STUDENTS WHO GRADUATE WITH STEM DEGREES AND HIRED IN TO DOE/NNSA’S WORKFORCE.
