NSF Site Review

CU-ADVANCE 3rd Year Site Review with the NSF
Thursday and Friday, October 15 and 16 (info)

 

Research Initiation Award (RIA)

The goal of CU-ADVANCE RIAs is to support women associate professors in Engineering, Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and the Social Sciences as they near promotion from associate to full rank. These awards fund research activities and initiatives that represent either a new direction or a renewed line of inquiry which are likely to support their promotion.

Professional Development Grant (PDG)

The goal of CU-ADVANCE Professional Development Grants is to support pre-tenure women engineers, life scientists, social scientists and physical scientists by funding visits to senior, recognized researchers in their area and/or the opportunity to host such researchers at Cornell for a colloquium. Such visits are meant to provide the faculty member with professional networking opportunities, the chance to share her research more widely with experts in her field and an opportunity to heighten her professional visibility on the Cornell University campus in preparation for promotion and tenure. Senior researchers may become appropriate evaluators of the faculty member's work at the moment of tenure and promotion.
