Subject: The DOE Office of Science Graduate Student
Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications!
Dear Colleagues,
The Department of Energy’s (DOE) Office of Science is
pleased to announce that the Office of Science Graduate Student Research
(SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the 2016 Solicitation 2.
Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Monday November 21, 2016.
Starting from 2015 Solicitation 2, the SCGSR program is open
to graduate students with Permanent Resident status, in addition to U.S.
Citizens, who meet all other eligibility requirements. Detailed information
about the program, including eligibility requirements and access to the online
application system, can be found at: http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/.
The SCGSR program supports supplemental awards to
outstanding U.S. graduate students to conduct part of their graduate thesis
research at a DOE national laboratory in collaboration with a DOE laboratory
scientist for a period of 3 to 12 consecutive months—with the goal of preparing
graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to
the DOE Office of Science mission.
The SCGSR program is open to current Ph.D. students in
qualified graduate programs at accredited U.S. academic institutions, who are
conducting their graduate thesis research in targeted areas of importance to
the DOE Office of Science. The research opportunity is expected to advance the
graduate students’ overall doctoral thesis/dissertation while providing access
to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the DOE
laboratories. The supplemental award provides for additional, incremental costs
for living and travel expenses directly associated with conducting the SCGSR
research project at the DOE host laboratory during the award period.
The Office of Science expects to make approximately 50
awards in 2016 Solicitation 2, for project periods beginning anytime between
June 1, 2017 and October 2, 2017.
Since its inception in 2014, the SCGSR program has provided
support to about 160 graduate awardees from over 75 different universities to
conduct thesis research at DOE national laboratories across the nation.
The SCGSR program is sponsored and managed by the DOE
Office of Science’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists
(WDTS), in collaboration with the six Office of Science research programs
offices and the DOE national laboratories, and the Oak Ridge Institute of
Science and Education (ORISE).
For any questions, please contact the SCGSR Program Manager,
Dr. Ping Ge, at sc.scgsr@science.doe.gov.
