Description
Reaching a New Energy Sciences Workforce (RENEW) aims to build foundations for Office of Science (SC) research and training at institutions historically underrepresented in the SC research portfolio. RENEW leverages SC’s unique national laboratories, user facilities, and other research infrastructures to provide undergraduate and graduate training opportunities for students and academic institutions not currently well represented in the U.S. science and technology ecosystem. The hands-on experiences gained through RENEW will open new career avenues for participants, forming a nucleus for a future pool of talented young scientists, engineers, and technicians with the critical skills and expertise needed for the full breadth of SC research activities. PIs, key personnel, and students and postdocs of RENEW awards will be invited to participate in NP researcher meetings and/or SC-wide professional development and collaborator events.The NP program hereby announces its interest in receiving applications for the RENEW initiative. In FY 2021, NP initiated a Traineeship program aimed at reducing barriers to broader workforce diversity, with emphasis on proposals that leveraged potential workforce at Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) and Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). This FOA will continue to include traineeships, which come with financial support and stipends for the trainees. Previous traineeships have offered networking opportunities and mentoring support to foster a strong sense of science identity among participants and expand awareness of career opportunities.
