DOE-NE's mission is to encourage development and exploration of advanced nuclear science and technology. DOE-NE promotes nuclear energy as a resource capable of meeting the nation's energy, environmental, and national security needs by resolving scientific, technical, and regulatory challenges through research, development, and demonstration. IUP supports DOE-NE's Nuclear Energy University Program (NEUP), which enables outstanding, cutting-edge, and innovative research at U.S. IHEs through the following: * Integrating research and development (R&D) at U.S. IHEs, national laboratories, and industry to revitalize nuclear education and support NE'sPrograms * Attracting the brightest students to the nuclear professions and supporting the nation's intellectual capital in science and engineering disciplines * Improving U.S. IHE's infrastructure for conducting R&D and educating students * Facilitating knowledge transfer to the next generation ofworkers Educating undergraduate and graduate students in NS&E will: * Support the ongoing need for personnel who can develop and maintain the nation's nuclear power technology * Enhance the R&D capabilities of U.S. IHEs * Fulfill national demand for highly trained scientists and engineers to work in NS&E areas
