Computational Science Graduate Fellowship (CSGF) is designed to nurture leading computational scientists by offering fellowships that combine financial support with practical experience in high-performance computing (HPC) at DOE national laboratories. It emphasizes interdisciplinary education, preparing students for careers in academia, industry, and government by tackling problems at the intersection of computing and scientific research."Computational Science Graduate Fellowship". https://www.krellinst.org/csgf.

Goals

• Develop a cadre of computational scientists with expertise in HPC."Computational Science Graduate Fellowship". https://www.krellinst.org/csgf. Retrieved January 30, 2025. 
• Provide hands-on research experience through laboratory practicums.
• Promote interdisciplinary learning by integrating computer science with other scientific disciplines.

Organization

The CSGF is administered by the Office of Advanced Scientific Computing Research (ASCR) within the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science. The Krell Institute manages the fellowship program on behalf of DOE, handling application processes, fellow selection, and program coordination. Funding comes from DOE's budget for educational programs in science.

The leader of the program might hold a title like Program Director at the Krell Institute.

Partners

• No specific partnerships are listed, but CSGF involves collaboration with DOE national laboratories for practicum experiences.

History

The CSGF was established in 1991 in response to the growing need for computational scientists in energy-related research. Over the years, it has expanded its focus to include a broader spectrum of applications for HPC, from climate modeling to materials science. Key historical milestones include the admission of over 675 fellows from more than 85 universities, demonstrating the program's impact on the scientific community.

Funding

While specific initial funding amounts are not publicly detailed, the program has received ongoing support from DOE, providing annual stipends, full tuition, and research allowances for fellows. The funding covers the entire fellowship period, which can last up to four years per fellow.

Implementation

Implementation involves:

• Annual application process for new fellows, including rigorous review by a panel of experts.
• A three-month practicum at one of DOE's national labs during the fellowship.
• Continuous support through professional development and networking opportunities.

The program is designed to operate indefinitely, with annual fellow selection processes.
