About this opportunity
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is offering the Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program, its most prestigious award for early-career faculty with the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education. This opportunity aims to support the development of a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. NSF encourages applications from women, underrepresented minorities, and persons with disabilities. Evaluation criteria include innovative research at the frontiers of science and technology, as well as community service demonstrated through scientific leadership, education, or outreach. The deadline for this opportunity is unknown.
The CAREER awards typically range from $30,000 to $500,000, with project periods spanning 1-5 years. The work is primarily expected to be performed at academic and research institutions across the United States.
Synopsis
CAREER:The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. NSF encourages submission of CAREER proposals from early-career faculty at all CAREER-eligible organizations and especially encourages women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities to apply. PECASE: Each year NSF selects nominees for the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from among the most meritorious recent CAREER awardees. Selection for this award is based on two important criteria: 1) innovative research at the frontiers of science and technology that is relevant to the mission of NSF, and 2) community service demonstrated through scientific leadership, education, or community outreach. These awards foster innovative developments in science and technology, increase awareness of careers in science and engineering, give recognition to the scientific missions of the participating agencies, enhance connections between fundamental research and national goals, and highlight the importance of science and technology for the Nation's future. Individuals cannot apply for PECASE. These awards are initiated by the participating federal agencies. At NSF, up to twenty nominees for this award are selected each year from among the PECASE-eligible CAREER awardees most likely to become the leaders of academic research and education in the twenty-first century. The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy makes the final selection and announcement of the awardees.
