NSF- Mid-Career Advancement (MCA)
Posted June 15, 2022
Discipline(s): Biological Sciences, Geosciences, Social, Behavioral and Economic Sciences, Education and Human Resources
The MCA program offers an opportunity for scientists and engineers at the mid-career stage (see restrictions under Additional Eligibility Information) to substantively enhance and advance their research program and career trajectory. Mid-career scientists are at a critical career transition stage where they need to advance their research programs to ensure long-term productivity and creativity but are often constrained by service, teaching, or other activities that limit the amount of time devoted to research. MCA support is expected to help lift these constraints to reduce workload inequities and enable a more diverse scientific workforce (more women, persons with disabilities, and individuals from groups that have been underrepresented) at high academic ranks.
Anticipated Funding Amount is $14,000,000 to $18,000,000. Pending availability of funding varies across disciplinary research programs.
Submission Date(s) (due by 5 p.m. submitter's local time):
February 01, 2023 - March 01, 2023
February 1 - March 1, Annually Thereafter
