SCOPE
The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a
Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science
Foundation's most prestigious awards for new faculty members. The
CAREER program recognizes and supports the early career-development
activities of those teacher-scholars who are most likely to become
the academic leaders of the 21st century. CAREER awardees will be
selected on the basis of creative career-development plans that
effectively integrate research and education within the context of
the mission of their organization. Such plans should build a firm
foundation for a lifetime of integrated contributions to research
and education. NSF encourages submission of CAREER proposals from
new faculty members at all CAREER-eligible organizations and
especially encourages women, members of underrepresented minority
groups, and persons with disabilities to apply.
Each year NSF selects nominees for the Presidential Early Career
Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) from among the most
meritorious new CAREER awardees. The PECASE program recognizes
outstanding scientists and engineers who, early in their careers,
show exceptional potential for leadership at the frontiers of
knowledge. This Presidential Award is the highest honor bestowed by
the United States Government on scientists and engineers beginning
their independent careers.
