EEE members:
You probably saw the email to all NBER family members from Alison Oaxaca, below, about upcoming NSF deadlines. Jim Poterba, the incoming President of NBER, also asked me to identify particular members of our group who would be good candidates, and to encourage them to apply - either for the standard NSF proposal due August 18, or for the CAREER awards for assistant professors (due July 24). Either such type of NSF grant can be run through the NBER, in whole or in part.
I would be hard pressed to identify some who might be better candidates than others, both because I think so highly of all members of our group, and because you all continue to surprise me with your accomplishments. So let me just encourage all of you to apply. Such funding through the NBER will be very important in coming months and years, as part of establishing our EEE Program as a regular and productive portion of the whole NBER's research agenda. Please take a look, and consider it.
Thanks. Don

Subject: Upcoming NSF deadlines
Dear Family Members,
I wanted to let you know of 2 upcoming NSF deadlines:
The first is the prestigious NSF CAREER grant. A link to the CAREER program is here: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/2008/nsf08557/nsf08557.htm
I have included a short description as well:
CAREER: The Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) Program is a Foundation-wide activity that offers the National Science Foundation's most prestigious awards in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholars through outstanding research, excellent education and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations. Such activities should build a firm foundation for a lifetime of leadership in integrating education and research. NSF encourages submission of CAREER proposals from junior faculty members at all CAREER-eligible organizations and especially encourages women, members of underrepresented minority groups, and persons with disabilities to apply.
The deadline for the CAREER proposal is July 24, 2008. Please note that you must be an assistant professor in a tenure track position in order to apply. Associate professors and those who have received tenure or a previous CAREER grant are not eligible to apply.
The second upcoming deadline is for the Economics Program, which is August 18, 2008. PIs are required to complete the following sections -- a 1 page project summary, a 15 page project description, references, and a 2 page CV, as well as a form for current and pending support.
All proposals are submitted electronically, through Fastlane ( www.fastlane.nsf.gov<http://www.fastlane.nsf.gov/> ). Please do not hesitate to contact me if you are interested in applying for either deadline, or if you have any questions.
Thanks,
Alison
