Grants for Schools & Universities

Idaho Field Office · $0

This is a DOE Request for Information (RFI), not a funding award, seeking input, comments, and recommendations from the nuclear energy research community on infrastructure and capability needs; responses are submitted at NEUP.gov. Eligible respondents include 501(c)(3) and other nonprofits, public and private institutions of higher education, state governments, and small businesses. Because it is an RFI, no money is awarded (the amount is listed as $0) and responding does not result in a grant. Use this to share input or signal interest rather than to seek funding.
