The Office of the Vice President for Research, in collaboration with the College of Arts & Sciences, the School of Engineering and Applied Science, the School of Data Science, and the School of Education and Human Development, is organizing a workshop for all faculty and staff who are interested in the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program.

Learn the latest guidance from NSF and hear insights from previous CAREER award recipients from across a range of disciplines. Early career faculty across the sciences, social sciences, education, and engineering are encouraged to attend whether or not they intend to apply to this summer’s 7/23 deadline. A link to the NSF CAREER program page is here: https://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214

Participants are encouraged to attend in-person. A Zoom link will be provided upon request for those who are not able to join in-person.
