NSF CAREER Cohort Program
Research Development professionals will recognize this problem: you have multiple faculty submitting, limited bandwidth, and high stakes for every single one of them. The Cohort Program lets you deliver real, expert-level support to your whole group at once. Faculty learn from each other's questions and drafts, because sometimes they don't know what they don't know. Expert presentations carry the instructional load, and everyone is making real writing progress from early in the process. And it costs significantly less per person than individual coaching.
What’s included:
Eight to ten 1-hour presentations and Q&A sessions, plus open office hours
Scaffolded assignments every session, with critical feedback
Feedback on initial Concept Outline to send to your NSF Program Officer
Support for Broader Impacts, mentoring, safety, and education plans in line with current NSF requirements
Literature review and annotated bibliography for Education activities
Evaluation plan support
One full Red Team review per participant
Peer feedback and shared accountability
Starting at $4,500 per participant
