THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM SELECTS HIGHLY QUALIFIED STUDENTS AND SUPPORTS THEIR RESEARCH AND ACADEMIC STUDY FOR UP TO FOUR YEARS OF THEIR PHD GRADUATE WORK IN A COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING DISCIPLINE AREA THAT IS IMPORTANT TO THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY'S OFFICE OF SCIENCE AND NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION. THE DOE CSGF FELLOWS MUST COMPLETE A PROGRAM OF STUDY AT A UNITED STATES RESEARCH UNIVERSITY, SPEND AT LEAST TWELVE CONSECUTIVE WEEKS AT A DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY LABORATORY WORKING ON A RESEARCH PROJECT OF IMPORTANCE TO THE NATION, AND ATTEND AN ANNUAL PROGRAM REVIEW TO SHARE THEIR RESEARCH EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER STUDENTS IN THE DOE COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM AND WITH DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY HEADQUARTERS AND LABORATORY RESEARCH STAFF. DURING FY2025, 42 FELLOWS COMPLETED A RESEARCH PRACTICUM, AND 30 STUDENTS WERE SELECTED TO RECEIVE FELLOWSHIPS, BRINGING THE CURRENT NUMBER OF FELLOWS IN THE PROGRAM TO 140. FELLOWS ARE ENROLLED AT 48 DIFFERENT RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. OF THE 28 FELLOWS WHO COMPLETED THEIR FELLOWSHIP DURING THE FISCAL YEAR, ALL HAVE SELF-REPORTED THAT THEY ARE CONTINUING WORK ON THEIR PHD, ARE POST-DOCTORAL STUDENTS OR HAVE GRADUATED AND ARE WORKING. SELF-REPORTED EMPLOYMENT SHOWED THAT 14% OF DOE CSGF ALUMNI ARE CURRENTLY EMPLOYED AT DOE LABORATORIES.

THE STEWARDSHIP SCIENCE GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP (SSGF) PROGRAM SELECTS HIGHLY QUALIFIED STUDENTS IN STEWARDSHIP SCIENCE DISCIPLINES THAT ARE IMPORTANT TO THE UNITED STATES DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY'S NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION. STEWARDSHIP SCIENCE INCLUDES AREAS OF STUDY RELATIVE TO HIGH ENERGY DENSITY PHYSICS, NUCLEAR SCIENCE, MATERIALS UNDER EXTREME CONDITIONS, AND HYDRODYNAMICS. THE FELLOWS COMPLETE A PROGRAM OF STUDY AT A UNITED STATES RESEARCH UNIVERSITY, SPEND AT LEAST TWELVE CONSECUTIVE WEEKS AT A DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL DEFENSE LABORATORY WORKING ON A RESEARCH PROJECT OF IMPORTANCE TO THE NATION, AND ATTEND AN ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM TO SHARE THEIR RESEARCH EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER STUDENTS IN THE STEWARDSHIP SCIENCE GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM AND WITH DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY HEADQUARTERS AND LABORATORY RESEARCH STAFF. DURING FY2025, FIVE FELLOWS COMPLETED THE PHD FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM AND ARE NOW EMPLOYED IN EITHER POSTDOCTORAL PROGRAMS, IN AN EDUCATIONAL FIELD, OR AT DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY LABORATORIES. FIVE NEW STUDENTS WERE SELECTED TO RECEIVE FELLOWSHIPS, BRINGING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF FELLOWS IN THE PROGRAM TO 20. SSGF FELLOWS WERE ENROLLED AT 12 DIFFERENT RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES. THE DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL NUCLEAR SECURITY ADMINISTRATION LABORATORY RESIDENCY GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP (DOE NNSA LRGF) SELECTS AND SUPPORTS STUDENTS PURSUING A PH.D. IN AREAS OF ENGINEERING AND APPLIED SCIENCES, PHYSICS, MATERIALS AND MATHEMATICS AND COMPUTATIONAL SCIENCE THAT ADDRESS COMPLEX SCIENCE AND ENGINEERING PROBLEMS CRITICAL TO STEWARDSHIP SCIENCE. THE FELLOWS COMPLETE A PROGRAM OF STUDY AT A UNITED STATES RESEARCH UNIVERSITY, SPEND AT LEAST TWO TWELVE-WEEK RESIDENCIES AT A DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY NATIONAL DEFENSE LABORATORY WORKING ON A RESEARCH PROJECT OF IMPORTANCE TO THE NATION, AND ATTEND AN ANNUAL SYMPOSIUM TO SHARE THEIR RESEARCH EXPERIENCE WITH OTHER STUDENTS IN THE LABORATORY RESIDENCY GRADUATE FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM AND WITH DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY HEADQUARTERS AND LABORATORY RESEARCH STAFF.DURING FY2025, SIX NEW STUDENTS WERE SELECTED TO RECEIVE FELLOWSHIPS, BRINGING THE TOTAL NUMBER OF FELLOWS IN THE PROGRAM TO 18. FOUR FELLOWS COMPLETED THE PHD FELLOWSHIP PROGRAM AND ARE NOW EMPLOYED AT DEPARTMENT OF ENERGY LABORATORIES, IN ACADEMIA, WITHIN NNSA, OR IN INDUSTRY. DURING THIS TIME, LRGF FELLOWS WERE ENROLLED AT 12 DIFFERENT RESEARCH UNIVERSITIES IN THE UNITED STATES.
