Funding Opportunities Dec. 4, 2024 NSF CAREER Information Session; NSF Virtual Conference; William T Grant Foundation
by Iwan Notowidigdo
Greetings Colleagues,
I'm forwarding this announcement from the Office of Research Targeted Scholarly Awards group to remind potential NSF CAREER applicants of the info session tomorrow. There are a couple of notes I'd like to mention. Although the session will be recorded (in case you can't make it live), you must register for access to the recording. To be eligible for NSF CAREER, you must be junior faculty at the Assistant Professor level; however, the RFP stipulates that applicants must be Assistant Professor at the time of proposal submission in July 2025. You still would qualify if you will be promoted in fall 2025. There are a lot of proposal development resources available from the Office of Research including templates of proposal components, sample winning proposals, assistance with creating school district partnerships, consultants to assist in ideation and writing, and a review of final drafts to name a few. Faculty have three tries to win an NSF CAREER grant. I encourage you to register for tomorrow's session even if you are not intending to apply this year.
Along the same lines, the NSF Virtual Grants Conference will be held next week. Here is the link to the events page: https://new.nsf.gov/events/nsf-virtual-grants-conference-december-9-12-20... and this registration page gives you the topics and presenters for the four days of the conference https://events.zoom.us/ev/AuB_cPYmudw8DU2ZGwoIttOeofUa069ggVsGMwhY-XgOiKM...
Finally, next Thursday, December 12th from 12-1 PM EST, the William T. Grant Foundation is conducting a webinar on Research Grants on Improving the Use of Research Evidence: An Overview of the Program and How to Apply: https://wtgrantfoundation.org/upcoming-webinar-for-applicants-learn-about...
Please contact me if you have any questions.
Thank you,
Iwan

Dear Faculty,
The National Science Foundation CAREER program offers NSF’s most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research.
At UTSA, the NSF CAREER program is part of the Targeted Scholarly Awards initiative, with the Office of Faculty Research Development leading proposal development support for all CAREER PIs. We are excited to invite you to an upcoming brief information session about the NSF CAREER program, where we will review valuable resources and provide guidance to support your proposal development at UTSA. Whether you're new to the program or looking for insights to strengthen your submission, this short informational session is designed to help you navigate the process successfully.
Date: Thursday, December 5th
Time: 12:00 PM-12:45 PM
