<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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 2.<b> Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Monday November 21, 2016.
</b><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""> </span></b><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif""><o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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:

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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.

<p style="background:white"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif"">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 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.
