Early career faculty NSF CAREER grant proposals due July 27

  • Sponsor deadline: Wednesday, July 27

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.

Current CAREER guidelines can be read in program solicitation NSF 22-586. Potential applicants can view the CAREER webinar recording, slides, and FAQ in preparation of the submission.

Interested faculty should contact the Office of Research and Graduate Education pre-award team as early as possible to discuss proposal preparation timeline, budget development, and the submission process. We look forward to working with you!
