In this talk, I will discuss the opportunities and challenges associated with the formation of an interdisciplinary institute that spans a University and a National Laboratory.   Sue Clark had the vision for this type of endeavor and she has played a pivotal role in the formation of the WSU/PNNL Institute for Nuclear Science and Technology.  I will also discuss the role of this Institute facilitating the training of graduate students while exposing them to the nuances of working in a national laboratory environment.  Several examples of technical projects will be discussed including our own interests in fundamental organo-uranium chemistry.
