Support for NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award Proposal Preparation

The National Science Foundation's Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Award Program provides five years of financial support for "early career-development activities of those teacher-scholars who most effectively integrate research and education within the context of the mission of their organization." Project GRO and the Office of Research Training, Education, and Communication (ORTEC) are presenting a series of programs to assist Ohio State faculty who are preparing NSF CAREER Award proposals. Registration for these programs is available through the ORTEC website (http://rf.osu.edu/training/).
