Early Career Fellowship
The Early Career Fellowship will be offered in 2025. Additional details coming at a later date.
The Early Career Fellowship runs every other year and alternates with our Federal Grant Seekers Fellowship.
Designed as a year-long cohort, ECF focuses on writing and submitting early career grant proposals, with an emphasis on the NSF Career Award.
Writing and submitting research proposals to external funding agencies is a critical part of a tenure-track career. Special opportunities for funding exist through numerous agencies, e.g., NSF, Office of Naval Research, NIH, etc. Although these grants are competitive, the process of writing and submitting an early career grant proposal can help propel faculty research and scholarship.
