The Department of Education will soon announce opportunities for the 2016 Fulbright Hays Research Fellowships. It is likely that the deadline will be in April.
This program provides grants to colleges and universities to fund individual doctoral students who conduct research in non-Western countries for periods of six to 12 months. The goal of the fellowship is to “deepen research knowledge on and help the nation develop capability in areas of the world not generally included in U.S. curricula. Projects focusing on Western Europe are not supported.”
Based on a scan of last year’s projects, students pursuing History, Latin American Art, Spanish, Portuguese, Educational Policy, Linguistics, Musicology, Sociology, Political Science, Geography, International Development, East Asian Languages and Civilizations, Religious Studies, Public Health, Communication Technology and Ecology were funded.
Students must apply through USC. Please direct anyone who is interested in applying to the graduate school. We would be happy to provide additional information and resources.
A student is eligible to receive a fellowship if he or she:
• Is a citizen or national of the United States or is a permanent resident of the United States;
• Is a graduate student in good standing at an institution of higher education in the United States who, when the fellowship begins, is admitted to candidacy
• Is planning a teaching career in the United States upon graduation; and
• Possesses adequate skills in the language(s) necessary to carry out the dissertation project.
Duration of the Grant:
Students may propose research for 6 to 12 months. The fellowship may not be renewed.
Terms and Conditions: A fellow shall:
• Maintain satisfactory progress in the conduct of his or her research;
• Devote full time to research on the approved topic;
• Not engage in any gainful employment during the fellowship period; and
• Remain a student in good standing at his or her institution.
Expenses Covered by the Award:
• Travel expenses, including excess baggage to and from the residence of the fellow to the host country of research;
• Maintenance and dependents allowances based on the cost of living in country(ies) of research for the fellow and his or her dependent(s);
• Project allowance for research related expenses such as books, copying, tuition and affiliation fees, local travel and other incidental expenses;
• Health and accident insurance premiums

Department of Energy's Office of Science Graduate Student Research (SCGSR) Program
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 1. Applications are due 5:00pm ET on Wednesday May 11, 2016.
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: http://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 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 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.
The Office of Science expects to make approximately 50 awards in 2016 Solicitation 1, for project periods beginning anytime between November 1, 2016 and February 28, 2017.
The 2014 program solicitation and the 2015 Solicitation 1 have resulted in awards to a total of 112 graduate students from more than 50 different universities to conduct thesis research at 15 DOE national laboratories.
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, and the Oak Ridge Institute of Science and Education (ORISE).
For any questions, please contact the SCGSR Program Manager, Dr. Ping Ge, at sc.scgsr@science.doe.gov.
