NSF CAREER webinar on engineering education research proposals

About the event

NSF will hold an informational webinar at 3:00 p.m. ET on Thursday, June 12, 2025, about the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) program solicitation NSF 22-586, specifically relating to engineering education research CAREER proposals. NSF CAREER proposals are due July 23, 2025.

About the Program

The agency-wide 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.  

CAREER proposals submitted to Engineering Education, in the NSF Directorate for Engineering (ENG) Division of Engineering Education and Centers (EEC), should focus on educational research questions relating to the professional formation of engineers and have educational plans focused on putting those research results into practice. (More about professional formation of engineers is in the NSF PFE program description and as part of the NSF Research Initiation in Engineering Formation program.)

About the Webinar 

NSF program officers from ENG/EEC will discuss key goals of the program, solicitation requirements, and some best practices, and they will host a question-and-answer session. Please review the CAREER program solicitation and FAQs prior to the webinar.
