Welcome to the CAREER Proposal Development Website

The CAREER Program is a NSF-wide activity that offers awards in support of junior faculty who exemplify the ideal of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, a commitment to educational excellence and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations. Faculty at all academic institutions in South Dakota are eligible to apply for CAREER awards including primarily undergraduate institutions and two-year colleges. To be eligible to apply, the faculty member must be on a tenure-track or tenure-track equivalent appointment. The faculty member's research and educational expertise must be in a science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) field that NSF provides support for. "NSF fundable areas" not only include the natural sciences, mathematics and engineering, but also the social sciences, behavioral sciences, economic sciences and STEM education.
