University Partnerships
Like never before, universities today face serious challenges in securing research funding and attracting students into scientific and technical fields necessary to compete in a global arena. Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) addresses these challenges by providing research grants; promoting opportunities for collaboration among government, universities, and private industry; and creating smart partnerships for innovation and advances in scientific research and education.
ORAU expands opportunities for research and education for our consortium member universities
From its inception in 1946, ORAU has partnered with Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to build upon the new science and technology that arose out of the Manhattan Project. The idea of our university consortium was to provide members access to the world-class scientific facility that is ORNL.
That same spirit of partnership continues today. The ORAU consortium encompasses 109 Ph.D.-granting universities across the United States, the United Kingdom, and Puerto Rico and our reach extends to federal research labs nationwide.
