Dear Colleagues,

The DOE Office of High Energy Physics is pleased to announce the funding 
opportunity below.  In the initial (2014) cycle of this new DOE Office 
of Science program, 11 HEP students received awards to support part of 
their graduate thesis research at DOE national labs. We hope to expand 
the number of awards to students in HEP and closely related areas in the 
2015 competition and encourage all eligible candidates to apply.

*New to this  year’s competition,*we have expanded the HEP priority 
research areas to include:

 1. Some types of critical engineering training in the Advanced
    Technology priority area
 2. A new priority area for Experimental HEP research based on the
    applications we received last year and requests from the community

The HEP priority areas for this program in 2015 still include 
Theoretical and Computational Research and Advanced Technology R&D. Full 
text of the HEP and other SC program priority areas can be found here: 
http://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/how-to-apply/priority-sc-research-areas/

If you have any questions about the SCGSR program, please contact the SC 
program manager, Dr. Ping Ge. She can be reached at 
ping.ge at science.doe.gov <mailto:ping.ge at science.doe.gov> or 
sc.scgsr at science.doe.gov <mailto:sc.scgsr at science.doe.gov>.

Sincerely,

Glen Crawford

Director, Research and Technology R&D

DOE Office of High Energy Physics

**

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 <mailto:sc.scgsr at science.doe.gov>.
