About this opportunity
The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) Postdoctoral Research Program (CREST-PRP) provides two years of support for research experience and training for early career scientists at active CREST Centers. The goal is to increase the workforce presence of individuals from groups underrepresented in STEM fields. Proposals must be submitted by individual postdoctoral candidates, but if awarded, the grant will be transferred to the host institution where the postdoctoral scholar will be named as the principal investigator. The National Science Foundation (NSF) is the federal agency administering this opportunity, which is part of the STEM Education program (CFDA 47.076). Women, veterans, persons with disabilities, and members of underrepresented groups in STEM are especially encouraged to apply.
The CREST-PRP awards are designed to provide active mentoring to the postdoctoral scholars by the scientific mentor, who will benefit from the incorporation of these talented scientists into their research groups. The award amount and specific details have not been provided, but the performance location is expected to be at the host institution where the postdoctoral scholar will conduct their research.
Synopsis
The Centers of Research Excellence in Science and Technology (CREST) program provides support to enhance the research capabilities of minority-serving institutions (MSIs) through the establishment of centers that effectively integrate education and research. CREST promotes the development of new knowledge, enhancements of the research productivity of individual faculty, and an expanded presence of students who are members of groups underrepresented in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The CREST Postdoctoral Research Program (CREST-PRP) awards are part of the overarching CREST program and provide two years of support for research experience and training for early career scientists at active CREST Centers. The goal of the CREST-PRP awards isto increase the workforce presence of individuals from groups underrepresented in STEM fields. CREST-PRP awards recognize investigators with significant potential and provide them with research experiences that broaden perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions, and prepare CREST-PRP scholars for positions of leadership within the scientific community. Postdoctoral scholars conduct research on topics aligned with the research focus of the host CREST Center. The awards are also designed to provide active mentoring to the postdoctoral scholars by thescientific mentorwho, in turn, will benefit from the incorporation of these talented scientists into their research groups. Proposals must be submitted by individual postdoctoral candidates. However, if an award is recommended, the award will be transferred to the host institution where the postdoctoral scholar will be named as the PI. The award will be issued to the host institution as a regular research award, and the award will be administered by the host institution. Women, veterans, persons with disabilities, and members of groups underrepresented in STEM are especially encouraged to apply.
