SUMMARY:NSF CAREER Funding Opportunities - Insights and Lessons from the A
 pplication Process
DESCRIPTION:This session will provide an overview of the NSF Faculty Early
  Career Development (CAREER) Program\, with a focus on its goals\, struct
 ure\, and expectations for junior faculty. The CAREER award is one of NSF
 ’s most prestigious funding mechanisms\, supporting early-career faculty 
 who effectively integrate research\, education\, and broader impacts into
  a cohesive scholarly agenda. Drawing on Dr. Litwa’s own experience prepa
 ring and submitting an NSF CAREER proposal\, she will share practical gui
 dance on developing a competitive application\, including articulating a 
 long-term research vision\, crafting a compelling education plan\, and al
 igning broader impacts with both institutional and NSF priorities. The se
 ssion will also address common challenges encountered during the applicat
 ion process\, strategies for proposal development and time management\, a
 nd lessons learned from feedback and reviews. The discussion is intended 
 for early-career faculty who are considering applying for the NSF CAREER 
 award\, as well as mentors and research development professionals who sup
 port faculty grant writing. Participants will leave with a clearer unders
 tanding of the CAREER program and actionable insights to inform their own
  proposal development efforts.\n\nhttp://next-to-u.app/events/4041ef5f-11
