IAES-NETL

he NETL-IAES initialy formed as a partnership between NETL, CMU, Pitt and WVU. Over the period 2005-2006 the NETL provided ~$10M in funding for energy related research activities at all three institutions through its support contract with Research & Development Solutions, Inc. (RDS). In 2007, the three universities formed the CWP Corp., LLC as an entity to foster collaboration between their faculties and to serve as the focal point for their collective initiatives in all aspects of energy research. In 2009, PSU and VT joined our Institute. These activities have evolved into the formation of the NETL-IAES, an NETL-based research institute with a core staff of ~40 faculty members and ~160 PhD students and postdocs and funding of ~$12M /yr. Approximately 50 additional faculty members and their students collaborate with NETL-IAES faculty or directly with NETL research scientists based at the NETL sites in Pittsburgh, PA; Morgantown, WV; Albany, OR; and Fairbanks, AK. All university personnel are affiliated with the NETL through the IAES.
