Multiple outreach initiatives help DOE CSGF fellows and alumni, DOE laboratory staff, and academics establish a community of computational science and engineering leaders.
First, the fellowship offers career and leadership development opportunities, including mentoring and networking via social media and at the annual program review meeting, at alumni events around the country, and at gatherings at professional society meetings.
With the print magazine and online edition of DEIXIS, the DOE CSGF journal, the program also spreads the word about fellows’ accomplishments and the vital computational science conducted at DOE national laboratories.
The Frederick A. Howes Scholar in Computational Science award, meanwhile, recognizes DOE CSGF recipients with outstanding records in research and service. And the Communicate Your Science & Engineering Contest challenges fellows to make their work understandable for a broad audience.
Finally, an annual poster session takes place at the program review and offers first-, second- and third-year fellows a unique opportunity to communicate science to diverse audiences from colleagues and scientists representing different fields to lay persons and the press.
