The Research Development Office started a new program focused on significantly increasing early career research awards from federal agencies where we currently see lower than desirable numbers of proposals and awards: Department of Defense (Army, Navy, Air Force), Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency, Department of Energy, and NASA. These agencies fund a wide range of basic and applied research spanning Natural and Mathematical Sciences, Social and Behavioral Sciences, and Engineering fields, yet their early career offerings are not widely pursued by Ohio State faculty.
To encourage interest in applying for these early career opportunities, we are hosting a series of webinars directed at our early career faculty. The first one was held in January and we had approximately 60 participants. The next in the series will be held on February 29 at noon and provides an overview of proposal development basics. The webinar will highlight several topics including overviews of: basic university proposal requirements, solicitation cycles, proposal components, budget highlights, and writing tips. Please click here to RSVP for the Early Career Federal Funding Program Proposal Basics webinar on February 29th, 12pm – 1pm.
If you are interested, but unable to attend, please reach out to Kimberlee Moore.3218 so we can add you to our growing list of early career faculty who are interested in obtaining early career federal funding. We will periodically reach out to you directly for upcoming activities of interest.
