The consortia are funded by DNN R&D to do academic research and train students in areas relevant to our nonproliferation mission. Each student funded by the consortium is required to spend at least one summer at a national lab. This time may be spent doing PhD research, learning new skills (such as data science techniques), or exploring related areas of interest (such as policy). Time at the lab is paid by the consortium through the student’s home institution. Time for lab mentors should be primarily covered by the researchers existing projects. In cases where funding is not aligned to timeline or area of expertise, additional internal LLNL funds may be available to the mentor.
