U.S. Code › Title 42 › Chapter 149 › Subchapter XVII › § 16533 42 U.S. Code § 16533 - Hydrocarbon systems science talent expansion program for institutions of higher education
§ 16533.
Hydrocarbon systems science talent expansion program for institutions of higher education
to address the decline in the number of and resources available to hydrocarbon systems science programs at institutions of higher education; and
to increase the number of graduates with degrees in hydrocarbon systems science, an area of strategic importance to the economic competitiveness and energy security of the United States.
(b) Definition of hydrocarbon systems scienceIn this section:
The term “hydrocarbon systems science” means a science involving natural gas or other petroleum exploration, development, or production.
(2) InclusionsThe term “hydrocarbon systems science” includes—
petroleum or reservoir engineering;
environmental geoscience;
computer science, as computer science relates to a science described in this subsection; and
hydrocarbon spill response and remediation.
(3) CriteriaCriteria for a grant awarded under this subsection shall be based on—
the potential to attract new students to the program;
academic rigor; and
the ability to offer hands-on learning opportunities.
(5) Use of fundsAn institution of higher education that receives a grant under this subsection may use the grant to—
recruit and retain new faculty;
develop core and specialized course content;
encourage collaboration between faculty and researchers in the hydrocarbon systems science field; and
support outreach efforts to recruit students.
(4) Use of fundsAn institution of higher education that receives a grant under this subsection may use the grant to—
increase the number of graduates in the hydrocarbon systems sciences that enter into careers in the natural gas and other petroleum exploration, development, and production science fields;
enhance the teaching of advanced natural gas and other petroleum exploration, development, and production technologies;
aggressively pursue collaboration opportunities with industry and the National Laboratories, including the National Energy Technology Laboratory;
bolster or sustain natural gas and other petroleum exploration, development, and production infrastructure and research facilities of the institution of higher education, such as research and training or laboratories; and
provide tuition assistance and stipends to undergraduate and graduate students.
