Staff Support to Tribal Radioactive Materials Transportation Committee for Engagement with U.S. Department of Energy on Radioactive Materials Transportation Planning

The purpose of this Cooperative Agreement between the U. S. Department of Energy (DOE) and the TBD hereafter referred to as the "Recipient" is to facilitate engagement among Tribal government officials from federally recognized Native American Tribes, with DOE’s Office of Nuclear Energy,

Office of Integrated Waste Management (DOE-IWM), DOE’s Office of Environmental Management (DOE-EM), and Office of Packaging and Transportation (DOE-OPT) in planning and coordination for Departmental radioactive materials shipments, both ongoing and for future large-scale DOE transportation of commercial spent nuclear fuel (SNF), high-level radioactive waste (HLW), and other radioactive materials.

This facilitation is an essential component of developing and implementing successful DOE radioactive materials transportation programs that are safe, secure, and merit public trust and confidence.

Office of Postsecondary Education (OPE): Higher Education Programs (HEP): Minority Science and Engineering Improvement Program (MSEIP) Assistance Listing Number 84.120A; Notice Inviting Applications for New Awards for Fiscal Year (FY) 2021

Additional Information of Eligibility:
1.

Eligible Applicants: The eligibility of an applicant is dependent on the type of MSEIP grant the applicant seeks.

There are four types of MSEIP grants: institutional project, special project, cooperative project, and design project.

Institutional project grants are grants that support the implementation of a comprehensive science improvement plan, which may include any combination of activities for improving the preparation of minority students for careers in science.

There are two types of special project grants.

First, there are special project grants for which only minority institutions are eligible.

These special project grants support activities that: (1) improve quality training in science and engineering at minority institutions; or (2) enhance the minority institutions' general scientific research capabilities.

There also are special project grants for which all applicants are eligible.

These special project grants support activities that: (1) provide a needed service to a group of eligible minority institutions; or (2) provide in-service training for project directors, scientists, and engineers from eligible minority institutions.

Cooperative project grants assist groups of nonprofit accredited colleges and universities to work together to conduct a science improvement program.

Design project grants assist minority institutions that do not have their own appropriate resources or personnel to plan and develop long-range science improvement programs.

We will not award design project grants in the FY 2021 competition.

(a) For institutional project grants, eligible applicants are limited to-- (1) Public and private nonprofit institutions of higher education that: (i) award baccalaureate degrees; and (ii) are minority institutions; (2) Public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education that: (i) award associate degrees; and (ii) are minority institutions that (A) have a curriculum that includes science or engineering subjects; and (B) enter into a partnership with public or private nonprofit institutions of higher education that award baccalaureate degrees in science and engineering.

(b) For special project grants for which only minority institutions are eligible, eligible applicants are described in paragraph (a).

(c) For special project grants for which all applicants are eligible, eligible applicants include those described in paragraph (a), and-- (1) Nonprofit science-oriented organizations, professional scientific societies, and institutions of higher education that award baccalaureate degrees that: (i) provide a needed service to a group of minority institutions; or (ii) provide in-service training to project directors, scientists, and engineers from minority institutions; or (2) A consortia of organizations that provide needed services to one or more minority institutions, the membership of which may include: (i) institutions of higher education which have a curriculum in science or engineering; (ii) institutions of higher education that have a graduate or professional program in science or engineering; (iii) research laboratories of, or under contract with, the Department of Energy, the Department of Defense, or the National Institutes of Health; (iv) relevant offices of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration, National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, National Science Foundation, and National Institute of Standards and Technology; (v) quasi-governmental entities that have a significant scientific or engineering mission; or (vi) institutions of higher education that have State-sponsored centers for research in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.

(d) For cooperative project grants, eligible applicants are groups of nonprofit accredited colleges and universities whose primary fiscal agent is an eligible minority institution as defined in 34 CFR 637.4(b).
