Subject: The DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) 
program is now accepting applications!

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 1. 
Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Tuesday May 16, 2017.

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/dissertation 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 2017 
Solicitation 1, for project periods beginning anytime between October 
30, 2017 and February 28, 2018.

Since its inception in 2014, the SCGSR program has provided support to 
over 200 graduate awardees from about 90 different universities to 
conduct thesis research at 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, 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>. U.S.
