Hi Miriam,

Below is an opportunity for graduate students.  In this program, students
in graduate programs at U.S. universities can spend 3 to 12 months of their
thesis work at a National Laboratory, funded by a fellowship from DOE.

The JGI is part of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory and we have hosted
students through this mechanism before.  It's a great opportunity for
anyone working in genomics or a related discipline to spend time here at
JGI embedded into one of our research groups.

It would be great if you could distribute this to QSB grad students.  If
anyone is interested, they can contact me and I'd be able to help provide
guidance and put them in touch with relevant PIs here.

Best wishes,
Axel

*Subject:* The Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program
is now accepting applications!

Dear Colleagues,

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 2018 Solicitation 1.*  Applications are due
5:00pm Eastern Time on Tuesday, May 15, 2018. *

Detailed information about the program, including eligibility requirements
and access to the online application system, can be found at:
https://science.energy.gov/wdts/scgsr/.

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 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/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.

The Office of Science expects to make approximately 50 awards in 2018
Solicitation 1 cycle, for project periods beginning anytime between October
29, 2018 and March 4, 2019.

Since its inception in 2014, the SCGSR program has provided support to over
300 graduate awardees from more than 100 different universities to conduct
thesis research at 17 DOE national laboratories 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 (WDTS), 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
(ORISE).

*We would very much appreciate your help in distributing this announcement
to your PIs and scientific communities. *

Please find the email announcement attached. Also, for your consideration
when delivering presentations to your scientific communities over the next
couple of months, please also find attached a few slides with information
about the program, including relevant website and contact information.

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

U.S. Department of Energy, Office of Science

Thank you.
