The workshop will include a panel discussion with previous NSF CAREER award recipients, tips on proposal development, and the opportunity to ask questions on how best to develop proposals.

"We would like to continue that upward trajectory. The CAREER programs serve a critical role in NSF's efforts to identify, foster, and support the nation's most promising junior faculty in both research and education.
