NSF CAREER Workshop
The overall goals of this workshop are to provide participants with
the tools to submit better proposals, insights about how to
personally and professionally progress and grow, and an awareness
of post-CAREER award responsibilities and expectations. The
workshop is dedicated to young faculty and will be offered on
Sunday afternoon (1:30-5:30 pm) of the conference. The workshop
will undoubtedly be of interest to more senior graduate students
and faculty, as well, because the workshop will deal with proposal
preparation, the integration of research and education, mentorship,
and issues associated with diversity.
