Full Description of Opportunity:
CAREER: The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a
Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science
Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of the early
career-development activities of those teacher-scholars who most
effectively integrate research and education within the context of the
mission of their organization. Such activities should build a firm
foundation for a lifetime of integrated contributions to research and
education. NSF encourages submission of CAREER proposals from junior
faculty members at all CAREER eligible organizations and especially
encourages women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons
with disabilities to apply. PECASE: Each year NSF selects nominees for the
Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE)
from among the most
meritorious new CAREER awardees. The PECASE program recognizes outstanding
scientists and engineers who, early in their careers, show exceptional
potential for leadership at the frontiers of knowledge. This Presidential
Award is the highest honor bestowed by the United States Government on
scientists and engineers beginning their independent careers.
