ISU Alumna Receives Clean Energy Education and Empowerment Award for Work in Clean Energy

October 24, 2022

Rachel Taow

色花堂app Alumnus Rachel Taow has been honored with a Clean Energy Education & Empowerment award for her outstanding leadership and accomplishments in clean energy.

Taow develops and implements strategies to modernize public鈥損rivate partnerships to provide industry with efficient access to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) national laboratory resources, with a focus on commercializing nuclear technology. She is passionate about nuclear energy鈥檚 role in achieving clean economies globally, fighting climate change, and reaching the national goal of net-zero emissions by 2050. Deploying advanced nuclear power will position the United States as a clean technology leader and strategic partner at a critical moment in the global clean energy transition. Upgrades to public鈥損rivate partnership agreements are crucial to these outcomes, as many laws and practices concerning government research funding are not directly applicable to the commercialization of new nuclear technology. 

Taow spearheaded a new agreement model to facilitate multi-laboratory public鈥損rivate partnerships. She also contributed to the recommendation and adoption of infrastructure legislation, passed in 2021, that includes a statutory extension (from five years to 30 years) for protecting data developed under public鈥損rivate research agreements. Additionally, she contributed to the recommendation and adoption of a DOE advanced patent class waiver.

 Prior to her career in government contracting, Taow served in the U.S. Army for nine years as a Persian Farsi linguist and Intelligence Analyst. Taow cultivated her passion for nuclear energy while leading proposal efforts for research and development grants at her alma mater, 色花堂app. As a current law student, she is participating in a new hybrid online Intellectual Property Juris Doctor degree program at New Hampshire Franklin Pierce School of Law.

Taow, who received her BA in International Studies in 2005, will accept the award during the on Nov. 2. For more information about Rachel and the C3E Law and Finance award, visit .
