Mid-Career Advancement (Opportunity Kick-off)

January 10, 2023

Research Development Opportunity Kick-off events are introductions to specific funding opportunities that provide an overview of requirements, advice and lessons learned from experienced faculty, and a chance to network with other ASU faculty.

Topic:

The MCA offers an opportunity for scientists and engineers at the Associate Professor rank to substantively enhance and advance their research program through synergistic and mutually beneficial partnerships, typically at an institution other than their home institution. Projects that envision new insights on existing problems or identify new but related problems previously inaccessible without new methodology or expertise from other fields are encouraged.

By (re)-investing in mid-career investigators, NSF aims to enable and grow a more diverse scientific workforce (more women, persons with disabilities, and underrepresented minorities) at high academic ranks, who remain engaged and active in cutting-edge research.

Participating programs in the Directorates for Biological Sciences (BIO), Geosciences (GEO), Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences (SBE), and STEM Education, Integrative Activities, and Technology, Innovation and Partnerships (TIP) will accept MCA proposals.

The presentation will provide information on the MCA program, solicitation details, and a discussion with previous awardees.
