RFCUNY Brown Bag Research Webinars: NSF Grant Programs for CUNY Postdoctoral Researchers

Overview: NSF Postdoctoral Fellowships are designed to provide opportunities for recent doctoral graduates and postdoctoral researchers to gain research experience under the sponsorship of established scientists, to broaden their scientific horizons beyond their undergraduate and graduate training, and to engage in research activities at an significant time and level of their professional development. NSF offers Postdoctoral Research Fellowships in the Social Sciences, STEM Education, Biology, Earth Sciences, Ocean Sciences, Atmospheric and Geospatial Sciences, Mathematical Sciences, Astronomy and Astrophysical Sciences, and Polar Programs. The NSF Engineering Directorate offers an engineering postdoctoral program (eFellows) for early-career PhDs in engineering fields. The eFellows program is administered by the American Society for Engineering Education (ASEE) with funding provided by the National Science Foundation. The webinar will also cover the CREST Postdoctoral Research Program (CREST-PRP) which provides two years of support for research experience and training for postdoctoral researchers at active CREST Centers. The goal of the CREST-PRP awards is to increase the workforce presence of individuals from groups underrepresented in STEM fields. CREST-PRP awards recognize investigators with significant potential and provide them with research experiences that broaden perspectives, facilitate interdisciplinary interactions, and prepares CREST-PRP scholars for positions of leadership within the scientific community. The NSF postdoctoral research awards are designed to provide active mentoring to the postdoctoral scholars by the scientific mentor who, in turn, will benefit from the incorporation of these talented scientists into their or other research groups.
