Last year, Rutgers faculty received 5 NSF CAREER awards out of 10 applications for a 50% success rate. NSF’s CAREER Award is prestigious and opens doors for further funding opportunities. The deadline for the CAREER award to ORSP is July 14, 2008.
The Office of the Vice President for Research and Graduate and Professional Education is sponsoring Rutgers 7th annual NSF CAREER Award Workshop. The purpose is to provide valuable information to faculty AND DEPARTMENT CHAIRS of faculty eligible to submit proposals to the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program http://nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214. This workshop will support faculty in obtaining these awards by giving them knowledge and insight to compete effectively.
The workshops will feature a former division director who funded 60 CAREER awards (and declined 250), a former department chair whose department received 5 awards in one year, several Rutgers faculty with CAREER awards, useful information on education plans and outreach to include in the proposal, and information on writing a good chair’s support letter.
But wait, there’s more… Attendees at either event will be eligible for a free train ticket to Washington to visit the National Science Foundation.
