Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the
2017 Solicitation 1.<b> Applications are due 5:00 pm ET on

<p class="MsoNormal">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 a goal to prepare graduate
students for scientific and technical careers critically
important to the DOE/Office of Science mission.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">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 and its 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 during the award period.
