In 2014 NC State was awarded a five-year, $25 million grant by the National Nuclear Security Administration’s (NNSA) Office of Defense Nuclear Nonproliferation Research and Development to develop the next generation of leaders with practical experience in technical fields relevant to nuclear nonproliferation.
NC State was selected by NNSA over 22 other proposals following a competitive process that began in May 2013. The Consortium for Nonproliferation Enabling Capabilities (CNEC) was created and comprises seven partner universities (NC State, Georgia Tech, Kansas State University, NC A&T State University, Purdue University, University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, and University of Michigan) and three national laboratories (Los Alamos, Oak Ridge, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratories).
