Each spring, a select cohort of faculty learn more about and support each other as they pursue the National Science Foundation’s Faculty Early Career Development Program (CAREER) through the Office of Research and Engagement’s Proposal Writing Institute.
Diana Moyer, research development manager, says that this year’s format will be slightly different and geared to getting an early start in the process. The PWI will include one-on-one consultations, discussions with department heads, and creating a concept paper. This new format is based on a similar program that Harry Richards, research development coordinator for the Tickle College of Engineering, teaches.
