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 5:00pm 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 at science.doe.gov.
