Funding Opportunities for Mid-Career and Senior Investigators
Dr. Wilson Francisco, Program Director, National Science Foundation (NSF)
Monday, January 24, 10:00-11:00AM
Dr. Wilson Francisco, Program Director for the NSF Molecular Biophysics Program, will provide an overview of available funding mechanisms in the Division of Molecular and Cellular Biosciences (MCB) and will include a discussion of cross-disciplinary and special interest programs and other funding announcements, such as Dear Colleague Letters. Dr. Francisco will also discuss strategies for developing effective Broader Impacts plans. The program will be targeted toward mid-career and senior faculty, but all faculty are welcome to attend. Registration is required.
Dr. Francisco will also be available for individual meetings with faculty following the program. Harvard faculty interested in arranging a 20-minute meeting with Dr. Francisco should email Erin Hale at erin_hale@fas.harvard.edu. Please include times when you are available in the email. If your research falls within another area of MCB or BIO and you would like to arrange a meeting with a program director from another program, we are happy to arrange meetings in those areas as well.
