EDU Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) Workshop (Zoom)
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 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. NSF encourages submission of CAREER proposals from early-career faculty at all CAREER-eligible organizations and especially encourages women, members of underrepresented populations, and persons with disabilities to apply.
EVENT: The workshop is intended to provide guidance and mentorship to prospective CAREER applicants to the NSF Directorate for STEM Education. It will serve as an opportunity for participants to gain a better understanding of the program, including eligibility requirements, the application process, and outcomes of past CAREER awardees, and for participants to interact with other applicants, former awardees, and NSF program officers.

Faculty Research Mentoring Workshop
The Center for Clinical and Translational Science (CCTS) is presenting a Research Mentoring workshop December 8, 2023, from Noon to 4 PM at Nationwide Children’s Hospital. Lunch will be provided.
Nationwide Children’s Hospital
Research Building 3, room WB 1110
(Specific information about location, transportation, parking will be provided to registrants)
The training is designed to help faculty who mentor early career researchers, especially junior faculty, to become more effective research and career mentors.
The workshop uses a case-based, discussion-oriented curriculum designed by the Center for the Improvement of Mentored Experience in Research (CIMER). CIMER develops theoretically-grounded, evidence-based, and culturally-responsive training materials. A randomized controlled trial of this mentoring curriculum demonstrated that this training improved the skills of mentors.
