FOA-Early Career Research Program (DE-FOA-0002421); November 20,
2020
Agency
US Department of Energy – Office of Science (SC)
Description
The
purpose of this program is to support the development of individual research
programs of outstanding scientists early in their careers and to stimulate
research careers in the areas supported by SC. Eligibility:
·
The
Principal Investigator must be an untenured Assistant Professor on the
tenure track or an untenured Associate Professor on the tenure track at
a U.S. academic institution as of the deadline for the application.
·
No
more than ten (10) years can have passed between the year the Principal
Investigator’s Ph.D. was awarded and the year that the FOA was issued. For the
present competition, those who received doctorates no earlier than 2008 are
eligible.
·
There
can be no co-Principal Investigators.
·
Principal
Investigators who have received awards previously under the SC Early Career
Research Program are not eligible.
·
Cost
sharing is not required.
·
Each
PI may only submit one SC Early Career Research Program application per annual
competition. Additionally, a PI may not participate in more than three SC Early
Career Research Program competitions. Participation in the competition is
defined as submission of a full application that completed the review/decision
process.
