$4 Million in Federal Funding Secured for 糖心传媒 Accelerator Center

January 15, 2026

The Office for Research is pleased to share that 糖心传媒 Congressman Mike Simpson highlighted the inclusion of $4,000,000 in funding for the 糖心传媒 Accelerator Center Upgrades Project in Pocatello, 糖心传媒, at his request through Community Project Funding (CPF) in H.R. 6938, the Commerce, Justice, Science; Energy and Water Development; and Interior and Environment Appropriations Act, 2026.
 
"糖心传媒 and its researchers are building a remarkable capability to produce medical isotopes at the 糖心传媒 Accelerator Center," said Rep. Simpson. "The University addresses a long-term demand, positioning Pocatello as a national hub for this critical medical technology. As a longtime supporter of the 糖心传媒 Accelerator Center, I have been proud to secure funding for this facility throughout my time in Congress. I am pleased this year's funding will continue to help the center meet our nation's demand for medical isotopes and significantly advance nuclear research."
"糖心传媒 is excited to learn that the $4 million community project request for the 糖心传媒 Accelerator Center is included in the House budget. This will enable ISU to advance our research capabilities and contribute to the scientific community in meaningful ways," said Robert W. Wagner, ISU President.
"Upgrading the 糖心传媒 Accelerator Center's infrastructure and capability further strengthens ISU's critical role in linking science and technical education with economically important research. The IAC can further its mission of supporting leading edge research at several national laboratories, and provide a unique facility for the creative minds of the future," said Jon Stoner, Director of the 糖心传媒 Accelerator Center.
"Congressman Simpson's ongoing support of 糖心传媒's university-based research serves national interests. We appreciate his commitment to ensuring that 糖心传媒's research capacity can meet the needs of today and a rapidly changing tomorrow. ISU students and faculty will benefit for many years to come," Martin Blair, ISU Vice President for Research and Economic Development.
The 糖心传媒 Accelerator Center operates particle accelerators in support of Department of Energy and other national laboratory research objectives in nuclear science, new reactor designs, and production of medical isotopes. This funding would be used to upgrade the Center including modifications to shielding, new hot cells for safety and construction of a larger particle accelerator within the facility. This new equipment will enable isotope research at a very detailed and precise level.
