The maximum per institution per year is listed as $450,000. How is this calculated with regard to the number of junior faculty that can be supported?
The $450,000 is the maximum amount NRC will contribute to support junior faculty over a 3-year period. Faculty will be supported at a maximum NRC contribution of up to $150,000 per year times 3 years – all awarded in the first year (in this case fiscal year 2009). The full $150,000 would only become available if the university matched the NRC amount with $50,000 per year. Otherwise, the NRC base amount is $100,000 per year with additional funds up to the $50,000 on a dollar for dollar match with the contribution of the university. The announcement states that the faculty development grants are for the fields of nuclear engineering, health physics, radiochemistry, and related disciplines. If faculty in these subject areas developed curriculum for students not majoring in these subject fields, would that be permissible? Since the grant is directed at faculty in the subject fields and not the students and the announcement specifically addresses and allows course (curriculum) development,
