Opportunity Summary:
The U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) Minority Serving Institutions Program (MSIP) Funding Opportunity Announcement is a discretionary grant program administered by the NRCs Office of Small Business and Civil Rights (SBCR). The NRC is an independent federal agency established by Congress in 1974, and its core mission is to regulate the civilian use of nuclear materials (byproduct, source, and special nuclear materials) to protect public health and safety, support the common defense and security, and protect the environment. This grant opportunity is designed to strengthen the capacity of eligible Minority Serving Institutions (MSIs) to develop and run programs that build knowledge, skills, and workforce readiness in areas tied to nuclear safety, nuclear security, environmental protection, and other mission-critical fields identified by the Commission.
The funding is intended to support a wide range of MSI-led activities and initiatives, including programs, projects, symposiums, and training events that promote the exchange and transfer of expertise relevant to the NRC mission. Beyond technical subject matter, the announcement explicitly supports institutional and student-focused development efforts such as mentoring, leadership development, education and instruction, developmental learning, research and development, program evaluation, technical assistance, recruitment, and other activities that help MSIs expand and sustain pipelines into NRC-related disciplines and careers. In practical terms, the program is built to help MSIs both deliver learning opportunities and strengthen the institutional infrastructure needed to maintain those opportunities over time.
Allowable forms of support are broad and may include direct institutional subsidies as well as tangible investments like facilities improvements and equipment acquisition. The announcement also highlights student-centered assistance such as internships, fellowships, scholarships, stipends, and support for travel, tuition, and housing. Taken together, these categories indicate the program is not limited to a single format (like research only or training only) but is meant to flex to the needs of MSI programs that advance nuclear regulatory, safety, security, and environmental objectives while building institutional capability and student outcomes.
Eligibility is limited to regionally accredited U.S. public and private minority institutions of higher education that meet definitions in the Higher Education Act of 1965 (including the statutory definitions referenced for minority and minority institutions, as well as the definition for Hispanic Serving Institutions). Examples specifically called out include Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs), Hispanic Serving Institutions (HSIs), and Tribally Controlled Colleges and Universities (TCCUs). The announcement also allows affiliates or organizations that manage externally funded programs for MSIs to apply on behalf of an MSI, as long as the awarded funds are directly attributed to the MSIs project. Federal agencies are not eligible, and awards are not made to individuals or to other entity types applying for themselves; individuals and other non-eligible entities cannot apply directly to the NRC under this opportunity.
Administrative details from the source record show this opportunity was issued as a grant under Funding Opportunity Number SBCR FN 0310 MSIP01, categorized under Education activity, and associated with CFDA 77.007 (U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission Minority Serving Institutions Program). There is no cost sharing or matching requirement listed.
