What the grant funds

The Department of Energy’s (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) has a vital national security mission to protect the American people by maintaining a safe, secure, and effective nuclear weapons stockpile. The science, technology, engineering, and manufacturing capabilities resident within the nuclear security enterprise underpin NNSA’s ability to conduct stockpile stewardship, solve the technical challenges of verifying treaty compliance, combat nuclear terrorism, detect, and counter proliferation, and guard against the threat posed by nuclear technological surprise. NNSA’s ability to meet its many national security missions is dependent upon the ability to recruit, train, and retain its world class workforce. NNSA works with educational institutions and industry partners from across the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE) to achieve this mission priority through three major pathways: collaborative research; capacity building/pipeline development; and recruitment, retention, and development of a world class workforce. As part of the strategy to address future workforce needs, DOE/NNSA has implemented multiple collaborative programs to develop, recruit, and retain high-quality individuals. The Minority Serving Institutions Partnership Program (MSIPP) and the MSIPP Tribal Education Partnership Program (TEPP) are two crucial programs within the DOE/NNSA Management and Budget, Learning and Career Management. These Programs align investments in institution capacity and workforce development with DOE/NNSA mission areas to develop the needed skills and talent for DOE/NNSA’s technical workforce and to enhance processes and educational resources at MSIs. The programs’ primary mission is to create and foster a sustainable pipeline that prepares a diverse workforce of world class talent through strategic partnerships between Minority Serving Institutions, TCUs and the DOE/NNSA Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE). To execute this mission, MSIPP builds a network of NSE ready students through enrichment activities from K-20 to post-doctoral level; institution-lab consortia partnerships, and by exposing students to cutting-edge research and activities in relevant fields. The MSIPP recognizes a unique and compelling need to fill trade employment opportunities in the Nuclear Security Enterprise (NSE) while promoting diversity in the nuclear workforce.
