Deadline: Rolling Submission

We are pleased to announce a call for applications that contribute to research and public dialogue on the topic of consent-based processes for critical infrastructure, such as temporary storage of nuclear waste (spent nuclear fuel).

Who is eligible? U.S. based organizations and/or Tribes are encouraged to apply.

What is this for? This opportunity aims to fund research and public conversations led by communities or researchers (individuals or groups) on the topic of public consent in decision making for critical infrastructure, like temporary storage of nuclear waste (spent nuclear fuel).  

How do I use the seed grant funding? To gather information/input from research or in public forums. 

The seed grant program seeks to advance understanding of how communities approach consent and apply it in decision-making and engagement. Consent is recognized as key for decision making and procedural fairness with siting of critical infrastructure, like that for spent nuclear fuel. In addition, the program aims to expand understanding of better practices on community engagement and decision-making.
