* ORAU is a consortium of 98 Ph.D. grant institutions of higher education founded in 1946 to support university engagement with Oak Ridge National Research Laboratory (ORNL). The mission and opportunities for sponsoring institutions today goes beyond that original role to include partnership building with more than 12 federal agencies, as well as inter-institutional research collaborations. Valuable interactions can also be leveraged through the UT-Battelle partnership and the contractor programs managed by ORAU through ORISE, the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education.
