DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY
 

University of Florida; Noncompetitive Grant

AGENCY: Department of Energy (DOE).

ACTION: Notice.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: DOE announces that pursuant to 10 CFR 600.7(b)(2), it intends 
to issue on a noncompetitive basis a new grant to the University of 
Florida for the purpose of conducting a training course during the 
period May 4 to June 15, 1994, under the sponsorship of the 
International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA). The course is the 1994 U.S.-
Hosted Inter-Regional Training Course for IAEA entitled ``Use of 
Isotopes and Radiation in Insect Control and Entomology.'' The period 
of performance will be from the date of award through September 30, 
1994. The estimated cost is $87,000.

PROCUREMENT REQUEST NO.: 05-94IS40025

PROJECT SCOPE: This new grant is to conduct a course that has been held 
at the University of Florida every other year since 1963. The primary 
purpose is to provide technical training for research entomologists 
world wide as part of an international effort to increase food supplies 
through controlling pests that cause significant losses. The course 
promotes the peaceful use of atomic energy as well as public interest 
in disseminating knowledge about techniques to control insect pests 
harmful to the United States. The University of Florida has the unique 
availability and access to major Federal, State, and University 
entomology laboratories that are all located within the Gainesville, 
Florida, commuting area. Their location enables the course to enhance 
lectures by including site visits and hands-on laboratory work. 
Eligibility for this award is, therefore, restricted to the University 
of Florida.
