<p class="MsoNormal">How do you make your proposal as NSF-savvy as possible? How
do you best describe your broader impacts? What is cutting edge in data management?
How do you identify the best program for application? How do you access
available education and outreach funds? There are always new initiatives
starting at NSF, beyond core programs. How do you identify and apply for these
opportunities? How are initiatives different than core programs? How can you
design effective integrated research? Answer these questions and meet in small
groups with Program Officers, get to know what they are looking for, and learn
how to ask the right questions, give the right answers, and get funded. This
workshop is open to all AGU Fall Meeting attendees and will be particularly
helpful to early-career to midcareer participants, especially graduate
students, post-docs, researchers, and tenure-track faculty thinking about applying
for NSF funding for the first time. Co-sponsored by the Earth Science Women’s
Network and AGU Education.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">The tenure track can seem mysterious: a few crucial years
where new professors build a research program, develop a teaching portfolio,
and hope to be promoted. In this workshop, we aim to de-mystify the process,
and share secrets to success. This workshop is geared towards assistant
professors on the tenure-track now, as well as grad students and post-docs
considering an academic career; all are invited. This workshop is possible
through a partnership of the Earth Science Women’s Network and AGU Education.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Thinking about a career outside of academia? It can often be
difficult to get help finding a job in a non-profit or government agency, within
industry, or as a consultant – after all your advisor is an academic and most
likely doesn’t have “first-hand knowledge.” Maybe you want to stay in academia
but are interested in working as a consultant or even starting your own
business. This workshop will discuss practical skills for making the transition
to successful post-graduate careers (yes, there is life after the MS/PhD!). A
panel of scientists with experience outside of academia will share their
“lessons learned” and answer your questions about how to find and apply for
jobs in policy, federal research labs, state agencies, NGOs, industry, and
private enterprise. Geared towards graduate students and post-docs who are
considering options outside of academia, as well as faculty who are interested;
all are invited. This workshop is a partnership between the Earth Science
Women’s Network and AGU Education.</p>
