Faculty Awards
The National Science Foundation
The National Science Foundation is an independent U.S. government agency responsible for promoting science and engineering through programs that invest over $3.3 billion per year in almost 20,000 research and education projects in science and engineering.
CAREER Awards
The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program encourages the integration of education and research by faculty in the early phases of their academic careers. The program began in 1978 when the awards were then known as the Presidential Young Investigator Award or the Young Investigator Award. Today, the award supports junior faculty for approximately $50,000 a year for a five-year period.
PECASE Awards
The Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers (PECASE) was established in 1996 to honor the most promising beginning researchers in the nation within their fields. Eight federal departments and agencies, including the National Science Foundation, nominate those who show exceptional promise for leadership at the frontiers of scientific knowledge. The award is presented at a ceremony in the White House.
