SCGSR prepares doctoral candidates for careers of critical importance to the Office of Science’s mission of transforming our understanding of nature and advancing the energy, economic, and national security of the United States.
Participants receive world-class training and access to state-of-the-art facilities, expertise, and resources at DOE's National Laboratories. “We are incredibly proud to offer students the opportunity to conduct their cutting-edge thesis research at our world-class national laboratories through the SCGSR program,” said DOE Under Secretary for Science Darío Gil .
“This experience will undoubtedly equip them with the skills and knowledge to become future leaders in critical scientific fields. ” Awardees were selected from a wide pool of graduate applicants. Selections were based on scientific merit review by external experts.
SCGSR awardees work on research projects to address critical energy challenges at national and international scales. Projects in this cohort span seven Office of Science research programs , including research in artificial intelligence, quantum information science, fusion energy, and accelerator science. Awards were made through the SCGSR program’s second of two annual solicitation cycles for Fiscal Year 2025.
Graduate students currently pursuing PhD degrees in areas of physics, chemistry, material sciences, biology (non-medical), geology, planetary sciences, mathematics, engineering, computer or computational sciences that are aligned with the mission of the Office of Science are eligible to apply to the SCGSR program.
Research projects will advance the graduate awardees’ overall doctoral research and training by providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the DOE National Laboratories.

The Trump administration committed $5B and 278 projects across 15+ agencies to the Genesis Mission. Here's the structure — and how to position for the next wave.
Read articleOn July 22, 2026, the White House announced more than $5 billion in federal commitments for the Genesis Mission — the Department of Energy-led national initiative to fuse AI, exascale computing, and the 17 national labs into a single scientific platform. Nearly 300 projects across all 50 states were selected from a historic Request for Applications, and 15-plus agencies are now attaching funding to a set of National Science and Technology Challenges. Here is what the Genesis Mission is, how the money is structured, and the concrete on-ramps for researchers, universities, and small businesses who were not in the first cohort.
Read articleDOE's FY2026 Office of Science open-call solicitation (DE-FOA-0003600) makes roughly $500 million available across about 500 awards of $50,000 to $5 million — across computing, physics, chemistry, biology, fusion, and isotopes — with a rolling window that stays open through September 30, 2026. Unlike a targeted NOFO, it lets investigators propose almost anything within the agency's mission. Here is how the open call actually works, why it is chronically underused, and how to write into it.
