Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research (CINR) Research & Development (R&D)
NEUP seeks to align the nuclear energy research being conducted at U.S. colleges and universities with NE’s mission and goals. The CINR R&D program supports projects that focus on the needs and priorities of the Office of Nuclear Energy, including fuel cycle, reactor concepts, and NE mission supporting research.
NEUP awards millions of dollars in research cooperative agreements each year through a two-part solicitation process that requires professors to submit pre-applications and then full proposals.
All proposals are subjected to a rigorous, independent peer review process to eliminate bias and ensure those that are funded are based on technical merit and relevance to NE’s mission.
