SUMMARY:RFCUNY Brown Bag Research Webinars: NSF Grants for CUNY Early Career Researchers
DESCRIPTION:Overview: Researchers who are beginning their careers have not developed the body of research that mid- career or senior faculty have accumulated over time and are at a disadvantage when competing for NSF research grants. NSF has set aside funding to early-career researchers working across a wide range of research areas where early career researchers are only competing against each other rather than against mid-career and senior faculty. This webinar highlights key funding opportunities especially appropriate for early-career researchers at the rank of assistant professor. Early-career researchers are also eligible (and encouraged) to compete for NSF’s core grants\, special initiatives\, and other funding mechanisms. However\, the success rates of early career faculty that target grants that are focused on early career faculty are generally higher. Join us while we explore these opportunities on NSF grants for early career faculty. \n\n\n\n \n\n\n\nAudience: All CUNY Early Career Science and Engineering FacultyPresenter: John Tsapogas\, RFCUNY APPS DirectorRegistration: https://attendee.gotowebinar.com/register/1050292430685358943Webinar ID: 456-177-835
