    More information on the SCGSR program and registration link can be found here

    The U.S. 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 2025 solicitation 2 cycle. Applications are due on Wednesday, November 5, 2025, at 5:00 p.m. ET.

    SCGSR application assistance workshops will be held on September 11, 2025, 2:00 p.m.–3:30 p.m. ET (register on Zoom for the first workshop) and October 9, 2025, 2:00 p.m.–4:30 p.m. ET (register on Zoom for the second workshop). The first workshop will provide a general overview of the program and application requirements. It will also include time for attendees to discuss their potential research topics and their alignment with the SCGSR priority areas with managers of each participating program office. At the second workshop, staff members will guide attendees through the application process, answer general questions, provide guidance on proposal writing, and lead discussions with scientists and former awardees. Additionally, the program manager will host virtual office hours every Friday 1:00–2:00 p.m. ET starting on September 26, 2025 via this Zoom link.

    The SCGSR program provides supplemental awards to outstanding U.S. graduate students for conducting part of their graduate thesis research at a DOE national laboratory in collaboration with a DOE national laboratory scientist. The goal of the program is to prepare graduate students for scientific and technical careers critically important to the mission of DOE’s Office of Science. The research opportunity will advance the graduate students’ overall graduate theses while providing access to the expertise, resources, and capabilities available at the host DOE national laboratories. In addition, SCGSR awardees may have the opportunity for short international research visits to select prestigious centers to broaden their horizons.

    Since its inception in 2014, the SCGSR program has provided support to over 1,300 graduate awardees from 170 U.S. universities to conduct thesis research at all 17 DOE national laboratories across the nation. Areas of research include but are not limited to: physics, chemistry, materials science, planetary science, geosciences, biosciences (non-medical), fusion science and engineering, mathematics, computer and computational sciences, engineering, microelectronics, quantum information science, and artificial intelligence.

    The SCGSR program is sponsored and managed by the Office of Science’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists, in collaboration with the Office of Science’s six research program offices and the DOE isotope R&D and production office, and DOE national laboratories/facilities. Program administration support is provided by the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education.

Dr. Richard Sadler-Michigan State University *** reposting from GES ***

    Wednesday, September 17, 2025 | 4pm | PUP 206

    Public health researchers have become captivated with the idea of the long-outlawed practice of redlining influencing contemporary environmental and health disparities (mainly owing to the presence of a publicly available, geocoded dataset on the topic). But over the last 50+ years, a variety of discriminatory urban development practices have also marked our landscapes in ways that drive disparities. The deeper understanding of urban development known to geographers affords a meaningful consideration of these additional practices (which can include restrictive covenants, blockbusting, urban renewal, slum clearance, freeway construction, and gentrification). Much of my research as a medical geographer revolves around thinking about the patterns of disinvestment and decline experienced in American cities, especially via these processes. Doing so helps deepen our understanding of how environmental exposures are driven by a range of land use and planning decisions not just at one point in time, but over the course of many decades. In this talk, I will elaborate on this background and present research findings from earlier work in Flint and Baltimore. A major recurring finding in this work is that areas marked by high rates of white flight and blockbusting often fare even worse than formerly redlined neighborhoods, work which suggests a critical need to move beyond redlining in assessing the role of discrimination in the built environment.
