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 2014 solicitation. Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Wednesday September
24, 2014.
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 100 awards in 2014,
for project periods beginning anytime between January and September
2015.
Detailed information about the program, including eligibility
requirements and access to the online application system, can be found

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@science.doe.gov.
