DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research program accepting applications for Solicitation 2 Cycle

Categories: Internship, Graduate

Date: 11/12/2020

The Department of Energy’s Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program is now accepting applications for the 2020 Solicitation 2. Applications are due Thursday, November 12, 2020 at 5:00 PM Eastern Time.

Detailed information about the program, including eligibility requirements and access to the online application system, are online.

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/facility in collaboration with a DOE laboratory scientist for a period of three 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 host DOE laboratories/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/facility during the award period.

Awardees for the 2020 Solicitation 2 cycle project period would begin their projects anything between June 14, 2021, and October 4, 2021.

Since its inception in 2014, the SCGSR program has provided support to more than 520 graduate awardees from more than 137 different U.S. universities to conduct thesis research at 18 DOE national laboratories/facilities 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, in collaboration with the six Office of Science research programs offices and the DOE national laboratories/facilities, and program administration support is provided by the Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education.

For any questions, please contact the SCGSR Program Manager, Dr. Ping Ge, at sc.scgsr@science.doe.gov.
