Federal Grant Seekers and Early Career Fellowships
Federal Grant Seekers Fellowship
Applications are now closed.
The School of Engineering Federal Grant Seekers Fellowship runs every other year and alternates with our Early Career Fellowship.
The School of Engineering, in partnership with the College of Arts and Sciences, presents the program, which is a semester-long cohort that prepares you to meet with program officers, improves your grant writing skills, increases your chance at winning federal grants and promotes inter-disciplinary research.
FGSF provides you with the opportunity to identify and work on federal grant proposals while teaming with a cohort of like-minded faculty.
Your fellowship will culminate with a trip to Washington, D.C. to meet with program officers from federal agencies such as NSF, NIH, EPA, etc.

Early Career Fellowship
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.
