NSF CAREER proposal workshop

NSF’s prestigious Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program offers support for early-career faculty seeking to build strong foundations for research and education in their respective fields. Those interested in submitting a CAREER proposal are invited to attend a three-session workshop covering key aspects of proposal development. Workshop sessions will be held at the Talley Student Union from 3 to 4:30 PM on March 8, 22 and 29. The three sessions include:

Session 1: Specific requirements, Intellectual Merit and Broader Impacts, and communicating with NSF Program Directors

Session 2: Strategies for writing strong Project Summaries and Project Narratives, as well as Research and Education plans

Session 3: NSF CAREER panel review process, peer reviews, and small group discussions led by previous CAREER awardees (organized by NSF Directorate)

Participants are encouraged to attend all three workshops as the information presented each day will build on previous sessions.

The CAREER workshop is open to all NC State faculty and will be coordinated by the Proposal Development Unit (Office of Research, Innovation and Economic Development), College of Sciences, College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, and College of Textiles.
