About the event
Representatives from the U.S. National Science Foundation Civil, Mechanical and Manufacturing Innovation (NSF CMMI) Section of the NSF Directorate for Engineering will host a webinar on proposal development for the NSF Faculty Early Career Development (NSF CAREER) program.
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.
NSF CMMI areas of interest for CAREER proposals include:
- Advanced manufacturing, design and operations.
- Engineering for the built environment.
- Intelligent and interactive dynamic systems.
- Mechanics of advanced materials systems.
The CMMI CAREER webinar will be held on Wednesday, May 6, 2026, from 1 p.m. to 2:30 p.m. Eastern Daylight Time. It will cover:
- CAREER program goals and proposal development.
- CAREER solicitation requirements.
- Audience Q&A.
Register for the CMMI CAREER webinar.
