Early Career Funding

  The competition seeks to promote diversity in the social sciences broadly, including racial, ethnic, gender, disciplinary, institutional, and geographic diversity. For early and mid-career faculty.
• NSF CAREER, due in summer
  Awards are in support of 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 encourages submission by women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities to apply.
