DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program
The goal of the program is to prepare graduate students for science, technology, engineering, or mathematics (STEM) careers critically important to the DOE Office of Science mission, by providing graduate thesis research opportunities at DOE laboratories. The SCGSR program provides supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students to pursue part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE laboratory/facility in areas that address scientific challenges central to the Office of Science mission. 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/facilities.
DOE Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program is now accepting applications – deadline to apply is Thursday, November 15. Please visit here for more details.
The deadline to apply is December 1, 2018.
