-----------------------------------------------------------------------
SUMMARY: The Department of Energy announces that pursuant to 10 CFR
600.6(a)(5), it is making a discretionary financial assistance award
based on the criteria set forth at 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2)(i)(B) to Howard
University, School of Continuing Education, Silver Spring, MD 20910
under Grant Number DE-FG01-94AD83565. The purpose of the award is to
assist in the establishment of a network of colleges and universities
within the metropolitan Washington, DC, Virginia, and Maryland area
which have curricula addressing technologies and public policies in the
following areas: Energy and the environment; Advanced materials
development; Advanced manufacturing and process technology; High
performance computing and communications; High energy and nuclear
physics; Bioscience and biotechnology; Business and public
administration professions supporting these technologies. The
contemplated period of performance will be five (5) years October 1,
1994--September 30, 1999. The network will link the policy and program
office of DOE with appropriate academic institutions to facilitate
rapid interchange of information and concepts regarding the direction
of Federal energy programs, policies and technologies. The Department
is funding the first budget period (10/1/94-9/30/95) in the approximate
amount of 75,000--Howard University will be cost sharing approximately
$13,456, the total budget is estimated to be $88,377.

Please write the U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Placement and
Administration, ATTN: Rosemarie Marshall, HR-531.11, 1000 Independence
Avenue, SW., Washington, DC 20585.
SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: The proposed grant will provide funding to
Howard University, which is a nationally recognized historically black
academic institution with a broad curriculum. The Howard University
School of Continuing Education (HUSCE) is one of the 17 schools and
colleges of Howard University. HUSCE was established in April 1986 to
meet the special higher-education needs of a rapidly expanding
community of professionals, administrators, entrepreneurs, technical
personnel, paraprofessionals and other adults. A part of the mission of
the HUSCE is to serve as the central administrative unit for
coordinating all continuing education at the University and for
administering the Summer Sessions.
The program is meritorious because it not only provides the
interface desired in the above subject areas, but also supports the
Department's objective of building a well-educated and diverse
community in energy-related fields of study reflecting the core values
articulated in the Department of Energy Strategic Plan. This project
will promote education as well as provide local colleges and
universities the opportunity to provide a curriculum to the community
which will better prepare them to gain employment with the Department
of Energy.
Based on the evaluation of relevance to the accomplishment of a
public purpose, it is determined that the application represents a
beneficial method for the Department to form partnerships with the
academic community to foster educational growth closely attuned to
national energy policy and technology development. The result should be
university graduates which represent a diverse population with the
foundation required to more adequately address the national energy
challenges.
