Texas A&M University-led consortium has been awarded a two-year $2 million grant from the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to establish a first-of-its-kind traineeship program in isotope research and development, production and processing that aims to develop the future isotope production workforce for the nation and the DOE Isotope Program (IP).

Texas A&M will serve as the isotope traineeship coordination (ITC) site in collaboration with a team of 17 institutions — 14 institutions of higher education (eight of which are minority-serving institutions) and three DOE national laboratories (Argonne National Laboratory, Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory and Los Alamos National Laboratory).
