The goal of the Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) 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. These outstanding U.S. graduate students will be provided supplemental awards to conduct research at the ALS in areas that address scientific challenges central to the Office of Science mission:
