About the seriesThe Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of early-career faculty who have the potential to serve as academic role models in research and education and to lead advances in the mission of their department or organization. Activities pursued by early-career faculty should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) Quantitative Research Methods for STEM Education (QRM) Scholars Program pairs early-career education researchers with quantitative mentors to help develop skills in design, measurement, and analysis. The program includes a year-long training that includes a 3-day virtual Fall Institute (Sept. 27, 28, & Oct. 4, 2024) and a 2-day in-person Winter Institute (Jan. 31 & Feb.1, 2025), on-going live-stream workshops, and one-on-one research support with the assigned quantitative mentor.

In this one-hour webinar, program officers with the U.S. National Science Foundation share insights on managing EDU Core Research (ECR) grants, including BCSER Individual Investigator Development (IID), ECR-CAREER, and ECR:Core awards. Although the webinar is designed for first-time PIs, all active ECR PIs and co-PIs will find the information of value.

In this webinar, Crystal Lewis, who brings more than 10 years of experience in education research data, will discuss her open access book, "Data Management in Large-Scale Education Research," and share valuable insights for both newcomers and experienced data managers.

Join the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the ECR Hub for a webinar sharing tips and techniques for improving a previously declined ECR:Core proposal for resubmission. NSF program officers will discuss the different types of feedback and share tips for what to revise.

This webinar will introduce participants to tools and resources available through ICPSR and provide suggestions for ways they could be used to convey or supplement content in a typical research methods course.
