The renewal of the Nuclear Security Science and Technology Consortium (NSSTC) led by UNLV was announced in Nuclear News, the news outlet for the American Nuclear Society (ANS). “NNSA’s Minority Serving Institution Partnership Program is advancing education opportunities for underrepresented communities,” said Jill Hruby, undersecretary for nuclear security and NNSA administrator. “The investment into minority serving institutions for academic research in STEM education is vital to enable the full talent of our nation to contribute to nuclear security. We are excited about the positive impacts these grants will have on both students and national security. MSIPP is committed to advancing equity, economic opportunities, and educational excellence.”
This renewal marks the continuation of the NSSTC for another five years.
