Additional Information:
Strong projects should:
- Demonstrate documented nuclear workforce, employer, regional, manufacturer, or supplier demand;
- Identify specific workforce and training gaps;
- Map existing programs and infrastructure and avoid unnecessary duplication;
- Leverage existing workforce and training capabilities before creating new capacity;
- Establish clear recruitment, training, qualification, and employment pathways;
- Develop or strengthen industry-recognized competencies or credentials where appropriate;
- Expand apprenticeship and work-based learning where appropriate;
- Establish measurable workforce outcomes;
- Demonstrate a clear strategy for sustaining successful activities after DOE funding ends.
Where appropriate to documented workforce demand, projects may develop or enhance industry-recognized nuclear reactor safety competencies or credentials capable of supporting portability across employers, utilities, and reactor technologies.
Applications focused specifically on the following areas will not be reviewed or considered:
- Fusion energy
- Medical physics
- Nuclear forensics
- Environmental management
