PNNL-WSU Distinguished Graduate Research Program – Apply by Nov. 29
The WSU Office of Research, the WSU Graduate School, and Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) are pleased to announce the call for applications for the sixth cohort of the Distinguished Graduate Research Program (DGRP). Incoming students are nominated jointly by a WSU faculty and a PNNL scientist.
Interested co-advisors from WSU and PNNL should submit a joint-DGRP application online by November 29, 2021 for priority consideration. Advisor applications have a hard deadline of February 14, 2022.
The DGRP is intended to increase the quality and quantity of STEM doctoral students across the WSU system, while providing an enhanced research experience by aligning WSU faculty, students, and PNNL scientists with the unique capabilities and research programs at PNNL. Students in the DGRP are funded by their WSU and PNNL advisors, not by the DGRP. For more information, please visit PNNL-WSU Distinguished Graduate Research Program, or email DGRP@wsu.edu.
