## What the grant funds

The purpose of this Funding Opportunity Announcement (FOA) is to fund a cooperative agreement that engages state legislative leaders and representatives on issues and activities involving the topics for which DOE/NE has responsibility, including but not limited to: support for continued operation of existing reactors; development and deployment of advanced reactors; strengthening of the nuclear supply chain; consent-based siting an interim storage and/or disposal facility for spent nuclear fuel and high level radioactive waste; transportation of fresh and spent nuclear fuel and high-level radioactive waste; STEM education, workforce development; and, energy and environmental justice. The purpose of NLWG is to maintain and strengthen the government-to-government relationships between NE and state legislatures, while helping DOE/NE to accomplish its objectives. A principal project objective is to provide a better understanding for nuclear energy-related subject material to state legislators, and their staff allowing them to make informed policy decisions as well as to pass along the vital information to their colleagues and constituents. As part of this cooperative agreement, the selected entity would manage, organize, and execute NLWG meetings pursuant to DOE General Counsel guidelines and requirements governing such meetings. The meeting management would include at least two, but up to four, meetings a year (depending on DOE’s needs and budget). The awardee staff would provide administrative and logistical support for NLWG meetings, including securing meeting and hotel space; arranging for state representative travel to the meetings; researching and compiling information and materials relevant to the meeting topics; development of the meeting agendas, including invitations to and confirmations of expert speakers; arranging for any associated tours of DOE, National Laboratories or other relevant nuclear energy-related facilities; providing on-site support; taking meeting attendance and notes; and, compiling and posting meeting summaries and meeting materials on a website accessible to the public. The successful applicant (awardee) would also host conference calls and/or webinars to inform state legislative staff and allow DOE/NE leadership and staff to provide updates to NLWG members on DOE/NE initiatives and activities.
