<div>DOE’s Building Technologies Office (BTO) has launched a graduate research fellowship program called IBUILD (Innovation in Buildings). IBUILD is similar to the graduate research fellowship program administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF) but

specifically targets Ph.D. and Masters students doing research in areas that are related to building energy efficiency, including of course BEM. Applications for the 2021-2022 academic year are due Dec. 1, 2021. More information about the IBUILD program is
