The Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) program prepares graduate students for science, technology, engineering, or mathematics careers that are critically important to the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science (SC) 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, providing access to expertise, resources, and capabilities unique to national laboratories.

SCGSR at Pacific Northwest National Laboratory

As a national laboratory, PNNL carries DOE’s commitment to train, support, and inspire scientists, mathematicians, and engineers. Each year, scientists apply to participate in the SCGSR program to welcome students to PNNL and provide guidance and mentorship to students during their award terms.

The SCGSR program is sponsored and managed by the DOE’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists in collaboration with the six SC research programs, two research and development and production programs, and the DOE national laboratories/facilities.
