Grant Program and Special Projects

On March 1, 2002, the NTSHF formally initiated a Grants and Special Programs office. The purpose of the new office is to create a working database of potential foundation and corporate donors and supporters and to identify, develop and fund special projects that support the Foundations' mission.

In June of this year, the NTSHF Executive Committee approved a list of three projects to be developed as grant application proposals. The list includes:

• an Interactive/Multi-media K-12 Science Education Program to be installed at the Nevada Atomic Testing History Institute (NATHI) in Las Vegas;

• a pilot Women's Oral History Project to preserve the experiences and perspectives of women workers at the Nevada Test Site from the 1950s through the cessation of nuclear testing in 1992, with the possibility of expanding the project to other U.S. Department of Energy sites; and

• a series of public forums to be sponsored by NTSHF that will address issues of world importance related to nuclear science, nuclear disarmament, and nuclear non-proliferation issues.

Activities related to development of all three of these efforts are current and ongoing. CLICK HERE to contact us for more information about any of these projects.
