*1)* NSF has released a revised solicitation for the *Faculty Early Career
Development (CAREER)* program and a new FAQ (
http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2015/nsf15057/nsf15057.jsp). From the program
synopsis (http://www.nsf.gov/funding/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=503214):

The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide
activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious
awards in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of
teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the
integration of education and research within the context of the mission of
their organizations. Such activities should build a firm foundation for a
lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. NSF
encourages submission of CAREER proposals from junior faculty members at
all CAREER-eligible organizations and especially encourages women, members
of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities to apply.

Proposal due dates vary by area: July 21 (BIO, CISE, EHR), July 22 (ENG),
July 23 (GEO, MPS, SBE).

STEM Initiatives and the Office of Research offer a series of programs to
assist Ohio State faculty who are preparing NSF CAREER Award proposals.
Coming up next week:

*Developing Your NSF CAREER Integrated Research/Education Plan*
Wednesday, April 1, 2015
1:00–3:00pm
Smith Seminar Room, 1080 Physics Research Building
This workshop focuses on the outreach/education/diversity portion of the
NSF CAREER proposal, including strategies for partnering with Ohio State
and community resources that collaborate with prospective CAREER applicants
on outreach to schools and the public, development of courses, and
recruitment of students from underrepresented groups. Register at the
Office of Research website (
http://researchcalendar.osu.edu/index.php?eID=706).

More information about the NSF CAREER program is available on the STEM
Initiatives website: http://go.osu.edu/nsfcareer

*The NSF Innovation Corps Teams (I-Corps Teams)* program provides support
for commercialization of NSF basic research (http://www.nsf.gov/funding
/pgm_summ.jsp?pims_id=504672). A recent "Dear Colleague" letter highlights
the inclusion of learning innovations into the I-Corps program *(I-Corps
for Learning)* (http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2015/nsf15050/nsf15050.jsp):

To challenge NSF researchers to think beyond their research results and
toward broader adoption of STEM education and learning innovations, NSF's
Innovation Corps Teams Program will encourage proposals that take
discoveries and promising practices from education research and development
and promote opportunities for widespread adoption, adaptation, and
utilization. I-Corps for Learning (I-Corps L) Teams will receive support -
in the form of mentoring and funding - to accelerate innovation in learning
that can be successfully scaled, in a sustainable manner.

Awards are $50,000 over 6 months (F&A is limited to $5000). Proposals are
due April 15.
