Scientific Infrastructure Support for Consolidated Innovative Nuclear Research (CINR) supports two areas for U.S. universities to apply for funding: University Reactor Upgrades Infrastructure Support and General Scientific Infrastructure Support for Universities.
This infrastructure program was established to continue to strengthen U.S. competitiveness in nuclear R&D and enhance nuclear research capabilities at U.S. universities and colleges, especially in support of 1) upgrading and improving U.S. university nuclear research and training reactors; 2) Obtaining equipment and instrumentation that significantly improves or expands the research, instruction, training capabilities, and/or operating capabilities; and 3) Contributing to strengthening the academic community’s nuclear engineering infrastructure.
