UK-US Academic Network in Nuclear Security and Non-Proliferation Skills
NuSec supports academic collaboration with the NNSA ETI, MTV and NSSC consortia through the provision of collaborative postdoctoral research grants, and support for mobility and training activities. NuSec also supports collaboration with the DoD/DTRA University Research Alliances. The aim of this support is to develop collaboration between UK and US researchers in the UK and the US working in nuclear security and non-proliferation skills.
As result of additional STFC funding we have now reopened this very popular Grants Scheme
Our grants will continue to support collaboration between UK and US researchers in nuclear security and non-proliferation technologies and will support up to 80% of project costs.
The collaboration grants are available to UK researchers wishing to collaborate with the NNSA consortia and DoD/DTRA University Research Alliance including:
- Undergraduate student interns/summer research projects, up to £2,900 for 2 months (in accordance with the SEPNET Stipend rate of £1,450 per month )
- Research visits up to £10,000
- Conferences and Training activities up to £2,000
- Postdoctoral research projects (PDRA), up to £50,000. FEC costs can include Overheads.
Collaboration grants to support UK researchers collaborating with US partners will be managed by NuSec. Equivalent funding for US researchers will be managed by the NNSA/DTRA consortia.
