NSF Career Roundtables
If you are planning a submission to NSF CAREER, it can be valuable to learn from the experiences of colleagues. UA NSF CAREER awardees will discuss their projects and share their expertise on the challenges, considerations, and experiences specific to this award — both first-time proposals and re-submissions.
Join us to hear personal experiences on developing a proposal, applying, re-applying, and ultimately securing the grant.
All sessions will be held in H.M. Comer Parlor.
