The goal of the prestigious NSF CAREER Grant is to help promising researchers “build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research.” Writing a successful CAREER grant proposal requires clear articulation of long-term research and education goals, and that these goals are cohesive and well integrated. Recent CAREER grant awardees (Drs. Ashlock, Stanley, Vela-Becerra, Fayed, and Li) will talk about their experiences in developing their proposals, including their plans for the broader impacts, evaluation, and other requirements of this program. The speakers will provide some tips and recommendations, and participants will have time to ask questions. Dr. Arun Somani, Associate Dean for Research at the College of Engineering will provide an introduction and moderate the discussion.
