Through the university consortium and strategic partnerships, we bring together university faculty and students to collaborate with ORAU experts on major scientific initiatives that strengthen America’s leading edge in science and technology.
Halls High School celebrated a milestone this week with the unveiling of its newly upgraded biology lab, equipped with cutting-edge STEM technology thanks to the efforts of science department chair and biology/anatomy teacher, Abby Rase, winner of ORAU’s 2025 Extreme Classroom Makeover competition.
ORAU coordinates the evaluation of DOE former workers through the National Supplemental Screening Program. Through the NSSP, the U.S. Department of Energy offers free customized medical screenings to their former workers who may have been exposed to hazardous substances on the job site. On this episode of Further Together, host Michael Holtz and Wendy Benade, operations manager, and Heather O’Maonaigh, outreach manager, take a deep dive into the program, from outreach to enrollment and so much more. ORAU manages the program along with great partners, including National Jewish Health, Acuity International, Cority Software, and the Center for Health, Work & Environment at the Colorado School of Public Health.
