Some of you may have seen the recent announcement of the second and final year of the P3-funded OVPR Early Career Scholars program, part of the “Seeding Excellence Initiative”. Information is here: https://uiowa.infoready4.com/#competitionDetail/1879158.

Please note that only TT Assistant Professors who have registered for and will attend the Write Winning Grant Proposals seminars on Oct. 6, 2022 OR who have already attended the Fall 2021 seminar on Sept. 30-Oct. 1, 2021 are eligible to submit a Letter of Intent. I will personally invite by email all eligible faculty on September 19.

Registration deadline for the 2022 grant writing seminar is September 18: Thus, if you have a TT Assistant Professor you feel would be a good candidate for this program, please ensure they either took the grant writing course last year or are signed up to take it this year. CLAS sponsors 30 slots for the course, covering the $150 cost. Several CLAS-sponsored slots remain.
