(FOA)-DOE Office of Science - Early Career Research Program (DE-FOA-0002019); February 6, 2019

 

Agency

US Department of Energy – Office of Science

 

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.
