ORAU is an independent third party with decades of experience managing all phases of scientific peer and merit reviews. While managing a fully integrated peer review and grants management system, known as PeerNet, our peer review team is always looking for innovative solutions to improve on current processes and capabilities.
Representatives of ORAU and the Children’s Museum of Oak Ridge (CMOR) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) extending their joint commitment to offer innovative STEM (science, technology, engineering and mathematics) learning experiences for early childhood and K-12 students.
Ashley Stowe, Ph.D., is ORAU's new chief research and university partnerships officer. An accomplished scientist and inventor, Stowe joined ORAU after an 18-year career at the Y-12 National Security Complex that included standing up the Oak Ridge Enhanced Technology and Training Center. In this episode of Further Together, Stowe talks about the excitement he has for the work being done by the Research and University Partnerships Office, including the focus on nuclear energy workforce capacity-building through the ORAU STEM Accelerator, the various grant programs offered to University Consortium members, and the possibilities for research opportunities open to any employee at ORAU. All that his office manages has the potential to benefit our government agency customers and help grow the company.
