The U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Biological and Environmental Research has established the Global Change Education Program (GCEP) to promote undergraduate and graduate training in support of the Department's global change research activities. Global change research encompasses a wide variety of study areas, including atmospheric sciences, ecology, global carbon cycles, climatology, and terrestrial processes. There are two components to the GCEP: Summer Undergraduate Research Experience (SURE). SURE involves students at the end of their sophomore or junior years and includes an orientation course and mentored research experience at national laboratories. Graduate Research Environmental Fellowships (GREF). GREF supports graduate students in global change research through collaborations between universities and national laboratories. Additional information is available via the Global Change Education Program homepage
