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 2.
Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Tuesday December 15, 2015.
*Update for the 2015 Solicitation 2: The SCGSR program is
now 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 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 2015 Solicitation 2, for project periods beginning anytime between
June 1, 2016 and September 30, 2016.
The 2014 program solicitation and the 2015 Solicitation 1
have resulted in awards to a total of 112 graduate students from more than 50
different universities to conduct thesis research at 15 DOE national
laboratories.
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.
