Students can apply without their institutions being UNLP-approved. However, institutions with students receiving awards will need to be UNLP-approved by NE prior to the transfer of award funds for students. This is done by the university/college through a separate Funding Opportunity Announcement (DE-FOA-0002265) found at www.grants.gov. For more information on how to become a UNLP-approved institution, please visit the Scholarship and Fellowship Resources page at neup.gov.

| | Link List | Nuclear Energy University Programs (NEUP) relies on experts from academia, national laboratories, industry and government to review research and development proposals. Reviewers are screened to ensure they are evaluating proposals in areas in which they have expert knowledge. However, they are not allowed to review proposals in workscopes in which they have submitted an application. All reviewers are volunteers and must abide by conflict of interest guidelines. No honorariums are paid so that the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Nuclear Energy (NE) can fund more university-led R&D awards.
Your participation as a reviewer is vital to the success of NEUP.
