  2. Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program Synopsis “National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations.” http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214

  3. Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program Synopsis Such activities should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. NSF encourages submission of CAREER proposals from junior faculty members at all CAREER-eligible organizations and especially encourages women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities to apply. http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214

  4. CAREER Program Description This premier program emphasizes the importance the Foundation places on the early development of academic careers dedicated tostimulating the discovery process in which the excitement of research is enhanced by inspired teaching and enthusiastic learning. Effective integration of research and education generates a synergy in which the process of discovery stimulates learning and assures that the findings and methods of research are quickly and effectively communicated in a broader context and to a larger audience. http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2011/nsf11690/nsf11690.htm#pgm_intr_txt

  5. CAREER Program Successful PIs will propose creative, integrative, and effective research and education plans, developed within thecontext of the mission, goals and resources of their organizations, http://www.rutgers.edu/about-rutgers/university-mission while building a firm foundation for a lifetime of contributions to the research, education and their integration. http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2011/nsf11690/nsf11690.htm#pgm_intr_txt
