The Office of Research and Engagement’s Faculty Development Team will launch a weekly funding digest at the end of January featuring a wide array of external funding opportunities for faculty. The new Funding Opportunities Digest will incorporate opportunities previously disseminated by the NIH Digest and Catalyst, as well as round-ups from the Corporate and Private Foundations Office, limited submissions, and internal opportunities. It will be sent out each week on Monday morning.

Registration Deadline:  Wednesday, February 22

Please note: Participation in the 2017 NSF CAREER PWI Track is restricted to those CAREER-eligible faculty members who are preparing to submit a proposal to the July 2017 deadlines.

The NSF CAREER PWI Track will comprise five monthly sessions of three hours each, starting in late February. All sessions will be held in Blount Hall A004. The tentative schedule is listed below.  Each session will include a presentation by UT faculty and/or staff with experience in the NSF CAREER program and small group critiques. Participants will be assigned a proposal advisor from the Faculty Development Team, with whom they will work through the iterative writing process up until the submission deadlines.
