NSF Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Training: 11 months to deadline

In the first of my NSF CAREER program trainings, I outline the key steps you should take approximately 11 months out from the proposal deadline to set yourself up for success. These include:

1️⃣ Review the solicitation – Understand the program's goals and requirements.
2️⃣ Identify and contact the appropriate NSF program officer – Start building connections early.
3️⃣ Assess and enhance your Broader Impacts and outreach activities – Ensure you have a strong plan in place.

The NSF CAREER award is a prestigious program designed to support early-career faculty in integrating research and education. Because of its highly competitive nature, careful preparation is essential. In this training, I walk you through exactly what you need to do at this stage to strengthen your application.
