[Plsgs] DOE Opportunity for PhD students

[A. Elizabeth Arnold]

Dear Colleagues,
The Department of Energy¹s (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
students¹ 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 Science¹s
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.
