From 4CS2009

Richard Wiener is a Program Officer for the Research Corporation for Science Advancement. He will be presenting a special lunchtime talk on Saturday.

Research Funding Opportunities for Early Career Scientists

This talk will describe opportunities for early career faculty members in the physical sciences to obtain funding for scientific research and educational projects. I will discuss programs offered by Research Corporation for Science Advancement, a private nonprofit foundation, which include opportunities for scientists at primarily undergraduate institutions and at research universities. I will emphasize strategies for successful grant writing. The target audience is early career academic scientists in Astronomy, Physics, and related fields, as well as graduate students and postdoctoral researchers considering careers in these academic disciplines.
