The NSF CAREER Award is one of the most prestigious opportunities for early-career faculty, providing five years of support for a project that integrates research and education to shape your academic trajectory. This session will clarify what sets CAREER apart from standard grants, including its distinctive requirements, single-investigator focus, and emphasis on long-term vision. We’ll discuss eligibility, strategic timing, and how to craft a compelling proposal that seamlessly weaves together research, education, and broader impacts.
