4/14/15: Deadline to Apply for DOE Graduate Student Research Program
The United States 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 2015 solicitation.
Applications are due 5:00 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, April 14, 2015.
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 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 100 awards in 2015, for project periods beginning anytime between October 2015 and September 2016.
The 2014 program solicitation resulted in awards to 65 graduate students from 50 different universities to conduct thesis research at 15 DOE national laboratories. 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 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.

Ethics Video Challenge
The ASABE EOPD-412 committee is sponsoring its first Ethics Video
Challenge to highlight ethical issues faced by agricultural and
biological engineers in practice or research. The purpose of the video
will be to describe an issue(s) in an engaging manner so as to promote
group discussion regarding the issue(s).
Resolution of the issue(s) does not need to be identified within the video itself. However at the end of the video relevant sources material used in development of the case should be cited and sources for discussion reference may be suggested. Videos are to be no more than five minutes. The contest is open to pre-professional and young professional communities. (Graduate students are considered to be part of the young professional community category) One winner from each community (IPC and YPC) will be selected to receive $1000 to be used towards registration for 2015 Annual International Meeting (AIM) held in New Orleans.
EOPD-412 is looking for case studies to be presented, so they introduce ethical scenarios, in the 2015 AIM ethics session. Selected videos will be presented and then discussed by the attendees. ASABE members can receive professional development hours (PDHs) for participating the session.
Potential themes include ethical issue(s) involving engineering design, manufacturing, practice, management, research, etc. Videos may be created by individuals or team. Teams cannot contain more than four participants. The pre-professional individuals or teams must have a faculty or industry sponsor to provide oversight on the project.
The video deadline is April 15, 2015. Entries will be submitted by posting them to YouTube and an e-mail application containing the link to Scott Mueller at scott.mueller@wi.usda.gov.
• EOPD-412 officers will evaluate the videos on criteria that include:
• relevance of the ethics issue
• clarity of presentation of the issue
• the ability to engage the audience
• quality of the video
The winners in each category will receive a $1000 grant per team to attend the 2015 AIM. Winners will be announced MAY 1, 2015.

AgMIP 5th Global Workshop @ UF February 25-28, 2015
The 5th Agricultural Model Intercomparison and Improvement Project (AgMIP) Global Workshop will be held at the University of Florida in Gainesville, FL at emerson Alumni Hall starting on the afternoon of February 25th and concluding midday of February 28th, 2015.
The 5th AgMIP Global Workshop will provide an opportunity to share progress, new understanding, and lessons learned in AgMIP’s numerous research activities. See www.agmip.org to learn more about AgMIP’s activities and opportunities. The workshop will provide opportunities for sharing important AgMIP results, advancement of initiatives underway, development of new collaborative research activities, and planning AgMIP coordinated global and regional climate impact assessments in support of the IPCC 6th Assessment Report (AR6) and other major community initiatives.
The Workshop will allow participants to prioritize what is needed in the next generation of agricultural models and the development of a complementary framework informing sustainable intensification, forming strategies to deliver tailored information at the scales decision-makers require. The Workshop will also solidify linkages between global modeling done for the IPCC AR5 and the integrated framework of climate-crop-livestock-economic models developed in Sub-Saharan Africa and South Asia, with a focus on international linkages and the evaluation of adaptation packages and agricultural development pathways of interest to decision-makers.
These aims will be realized through a mix of keynote presentations, discussions, parallel breakouts, and poster sessions.
You must register to attend this workshop. To register, please visit http://www.agmip.org/5th-agmip-global-workshop/.
If attending for one day only, please check the Student Registration box and in the Student ID Number box enter either agmip-thurs or agmip-fri

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 2015 solicitation.
Applications are due 5:00 p.m. ET on Tuesday April 14, 2015.
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 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 100
awards in 2015, for project periods beginning anytime between October 2015 and
September 2016.
The 2014 program solicitation resulted in awards to 65
graduate students from 50 different universities to conduct thesis research at
15 DOE national laboratories. 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 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.
