Register for NSF CAREER info sessions and Peer Review Program

• Peer Review Program registration deadline: Friday, April 18

UGA’s Office of Strategic Research Development (OSRD) will hold virtual information sessions in early April to share an overview of the NSF CAREER program, discuss key strategies for success in applying, and answer any questions. These sessions will be scheduled based on availability.

If you decide to submit, we encourage you to participate in the annual Peer Review Program. Participants will be expected to adhere to the timeline we provide, which is designed to allow for multiple drafts and feedback from multiple sources—the keys to developing a competitive proposal! Faculty who sign up will be placed in three- or four-person peer groups. Each participant will read and provide feedback on two colleagues’ project descriptions using a rubric we developed based on NSF’s Merit Review principles. The focus will be on clarity, innovation, significance, outcomes, education plan, and broader impacts. To participate, please email Becky Kirkland by Friday, April 18.
