Celebrate this milestone with us and explore the stories, achievements and vision that have shaped ORAU over the decades.
For over 30 years, ORAU has provided research seed money to junior faculty at our member institutions through the Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Awards Program. Since the program’s inception, we have invested over $4 million and awarded 875 grants. Including matching funds from member institutions, ORAU has facilitated grants worth more than $8 million.
Tracy Boatner, President and CEO of the East Tennessee Economic Council, is also a member of the ORAU Board of Directors. She says she was honored to be invited to join the board and has tremendous appreciation for ORAU’s long-standing role as a force for workforce development in Oak Ridge and across the country. In this conversation, Boatner and Further Together host Michael Holtz discuss how these are exciting times for a city that stands at the center of the nuclear renaissance and how ETEC helps foster relationships among all of the stakeholders in the community.
For more than 80 years, ORAU has served as a trusted partner to our government customers, our university consortium members, and our local community. In this video, you can meet some of the people behind the ORAU name.
