NSF Mid-Career Advancement Program (MCA)

Wednesday, November 9, 2022

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Overview of Webinar: Through MCA, the NSF is seeking to fund mid-career scientists who wish to substantively advance their research program and career trajectory. A primary objective of this program is to ensure that scientists and engineers remain engaged and active in cutting-edge research at a critical career stage replete with constraints on time that can impinge on research productivity, retention, and career advancement. Thus, by (re)-investing in mid-career researchers, NSF hopes to enable a more diverse scientific workforce (more women, persons with disabilities, and individuals from groups that have been underrepresented) at high academic rank. The MCA provides protected time and resources to overcome existing constraints and enable advancements in creativity and productivity. Projects are encouraged to envision new insights into existing problems or identify new problems made accessible with cutting-edge methodology or expertise from other fields. MCA also seeks to foster innovation by supporting synergistic and mutually beneficial partnerships to catalyze convergence across different disciplines. Scientists at the mid-career stage, post-tenure, are freer than their more junior colleagues to pursue bold and innovative research ideas but, at the same time, are often more constrained due to increased service and teaching responsibilities that can hamper scientific productivity. Support from this program is expected to help lift these constraints and reduce workload inequities.

Targeted Audience: CUNY Science and Engineering Faculty

Presenter: John Tsapogas, Director, RFCUNY-APPS

Seminar for CUNY Graduate Students Seeking Grants

Wednesday, November 2, 2022

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Overview of Webinar: This webinar will provide CUNY graduate students with information on funding opportunities that are available for them from Federal agencies and philanthropic nonprofit organizations. Students will be exposed to databases with information on funding opportunities where they can search for announcements in their specific area of research. The webinar will also address key questions that need to be answered in developing a competitive proposal. Strategies will be discussed on how and what should be included in a proposal to make it an effective and persuasive write-up for submission to external funding organizations. Tips and advice will be provided to maximize a student’s chance of receiving an award and avoid a declination. Most funding organizations use a merit review process which plays an important role in deciding how awards are made. This process will be defined and discussed during the webinar presentation so that students know how their proposals will be evaluated after submitting them to the external sponsor.

Targeted Audience: CUNY Graduate Students

Presenters: John Tsapogas, Director, RFCUNY-APPS and Josh Brumberg, Dean for the Sciences, CUNY Graduate Center

Russell Sage Foundation and William T. Grant Foundation

Wednesday, October 26, 2022

12:00 PM - 1:00 PM

Overview of Webinar: This webinar will provide researchers with information on funding opportunities in two philanthropic nonprofit organizations. The Russell Sage Foundation was established to improve social and living conditions in the United States. It dedicates itself to strengthening the methods, data, and theoretical core of the social sciences to better understand societal problems and develop informed responses. The Russell Sage Foundation supports visiting scholars in residence, funds researchers in academic institutions, and supports programs intended to develop a new generation of social scientists. The William T. Grant Foundation focuses its support on projects that use research evidence that contributes to our understanding and improvement of society. Currently, the Foundation funds research that increases our understanding of (1) the programs, policies, and practices that reduce inequality in youth outcomes and (2) how policymakers and practitioners acquire, interpret and use research evidence.

Targeted Audience: CUNY Education and Social Science faculty

Presenters: John Tsapogas, Director, RFCUNY-APPS, and Nuria Rodriguez-Planas, Professor of Economics, Queens College

Mentor-Connect Opens to All STEM Faculty Involved in Technician Education – your colleagues now can apply to Mentor-Connect  

All two-year college STEM faculty involved in technician education are now eligible for Mentor-Connect mentoring to prepare applications for Advanced Technological Education (ATE) grants from the National Science Foundation. For the past decade, Mentor-Connect’s cohort mentoring was available only to faculty at two-year colleges that had not had ATE grants in the past seven years.

Technical educators are encouraged to attend ATE Funding Opportunities and Mentor-Connect Orientation at 2 p.m. (Eastern) on August 31, or to watch the webinar after it is posted in Mentor-Connect’s Resource Library.  To attend the free, live webinar, register at https://bit.ly/3P9PyTb

Applications for Mentor-Connect mentoring are due October 7. 

“Any faculty member who has not been through grant-preparation training really could benefit from Mentor-Connect because two-year college faculty members are generally not living in a culture where grant-writing is an expectation,” said Elaine Craft, principal investigator of Mentor-Connect.

Mentor-Connect is an ATE project based at Florence-Darlington Technical College; the American Association of Community Colleges is a partner on the project. Mentor-Connect has assisted 210 two-year colleges, 383 faculty members and 221 administrators and grant professionals since 2012. 

Eleven of the 14 Mentor-Connect mentee teams that submitted proposals during 2021 have been awarded grants in the ATE track for colleges new to ATE. This 80% funding rate is high compared to the NSF-wide funding rate of 25%.

Mentor-Connect selects 20 to 22 college teams to receive mentoring during the nine months that they are developing ATE grant proposals for improving some aspect of technician education. Mentor-Connect mentors are community college educators who have had successful ATE grants.

For questions, email Emery DeWitt at emery.dewitt@fdtc.edu or call 843-676-8541

The ASRC is now accepting registrations for the Fall 2022 grants bootcamp for CUNY faculty. The focus of this Bootcamp will be conceptualizing your research to fit a specific federal funding agency or major non-profit sponsor (e.g., NSF, NIH, NEH, DOD, DOE, IES, Spencer, Simons, etc.) and writing a 1-3 page whitepaper or overview for discussing your idea with agency program officers.

This Bootcamp should be particularly useful to:

• Research active CUNY faculty who have not yet previously written & successfully submitted a grant proposal to a federal funding agency
• PIs with NIH funding who would like to learn how to reframe their research to fit NSF
• PIs interested in applying for the following NSF grants:
• Launching Early-Career Academic Pathways in the Mathematical and Physical Sciences (LEAPS-MPS)
• Building Research Capacity of New Faculty in Biology (BRC-BIO) program

• CUNY tenure track assistant professors who plan to apply for the ASRC’s NSF CAREER Bootcamp in 2023 and have not been the PI on a prior positively reviewed NSF proposal (not necessarily funded) and/or need to start conceptualizing their research and objectives

Apply online now

Deadline for applying: Wednesday, September 14, 6 PM
