About the series
U.S. National Science Foundation program directors will provide information on the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (NSF CAREER) program solicitation (NSF 22-586) during webinars in April and May 2026.
The agencywide NSF CAREER program supports early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research.
The webinar dates and times are:
- Wednesday, April 29, 2026, at 2 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
- Tuesday, May 19, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time.
Both CAREER webinars will include the same briefing on the program and key solicitation requirements, followed by a Q&A session. Faculty who are interested will only need to attend one session.
Please review the CAREER program solicitation and FAQs prior to the webinar. CAREER proposals are due July 22, 2026.
