FOA-id-Career
Advancement (MCA); February 1, 2021
Agency
National
Science Foundation
Description
The
MCA offers an opportunity for scientists and engineers at the Associate
Professor rank (or equivalent) to substantively enhance and advance their
research program through synergistic and mutually beneficial partnerships,
typically at an institution other than their home institution. Projects that
envision new insights on existing problems or identify new but related problems
previously inaccessible without new methodology or expertise from other fields
are encouraged.
Partners
from outside the PI's own sub-discipline or discipline are encouraged, but not
required, to enhance interdisciplinary networking and convergence across
science and engineering fields.
By
(re)-investing in mid-career investigators, NSF aims to enable and grow a more
diverse scientific workforce (more women, persons with disabilities, and
underrepresented minorities) at high academic ranks, who remain engaged and
active in cutting-edge research.
