Partnership for Radiation Studies (PaRS): A Consortium for Advancing Radiation Science among Underrepresented STEM Students
The Partnership for Radiation Studies (PaRS) consortium was recently awarded by U.S. Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA). The five-year grant aims to increase the number of underrepresented students in STEM disciplines, with simultaneous advancement of nuclear radiation science. The goal is to hire more underrepresented minorities at national laboratories. The consortium’s progress will be tracked/reported annually. This paper and subsequent presentation cover details of the consortium, highlighting the key activities of participating national laboratories in assisting the minority-serving institutions.
