PNNL-WSU Distinguished Graduate Research Program applications for fall 2026 cohort due Feb. 3

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 tenth cohort of the Distinguished Graduate Research Program (DGRP). Incoming students are nominated jointly by a WSU faculty and a PNNL scientist.

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. Prior to completing course requirements and successfully passing the preliminary exam, students within the DGRP will receive financial support commensurate with department norms funded by a WSU college, department, faculty, or grant.

Interested co-advisors from WSU and PNNL should submit a joint-DGRP application online by Feb. 3. For more information and application instructions, please visit natlab.wsu.edu/dgrp, or email DGRP@wsu.edu.
