[Cuga] The DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications! - a message from Ping Ge

[Lorelei Chopard]

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 2017 Solicitation 
2.*Applications are due 5:00pm Eastern Time on Thursday, November 16, 
2017. *

**

Detailed information about the program, including eligibility 
requirements and access to the online application system, can be found 
at: https://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/facility 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 host DOE laboratories/facilities. 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/facility during the award 
period.

The Office of Science expects to make approximately 50 awards in 2017 
Solicitation 2, for project periods beginning anytime between June 4, 
2018 and October 1, 2018.

Since its inception in 2014, the SCGSR program has provided support to 
over 250 graduate awardees from more than 100 different universities to 
conduct thesis research at 17 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/facilities, and 
program administration support is provided by the Oak Ridge Institute of 
Science and Education (ORISE).

For any questions, please contact the SCGSR Program Manager, Dr. Ping 
Ge, at sc.scgsr at science.doe.gov <mailto:sc.scgsr at science.doe.gov>.
