Dear Dr. Mehrabadi,



The Department of Energy’s Office of Science is now accepting applications
for the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program (2016
Solicitation 1).



Starting in 2015, we are releasing two solicitations each year: one in
Winter/Spring term and the other around Fall term.



The SCGSR program provides doctoral dissertation/thesis research
opportunities for graduate students at DOE national laboratories. Please
see the program announcement below right after my signature.



We would appreciate it very much if you could help distribute the program
announcement to interested faculty members and graduate students in your
institution.



Sincerely,



Ping Ge

*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 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.
