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 2016 Solicitation 1.
Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Wednesday May 11, 2016.

Starting from 2015 Solicitation 2, the SCGSR program is 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 2016
Solicitation 1, for project periods beginning anytime between November
1, 2016 and February 28, 2017.

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