APS Research Career Enhancement Award

Award: $20,000
Deadline: May 15
Contact: Executive Office

The APS Research Career Enhancement Award (RCEA) is designed to enhance the career potential of regular members of APS who hold the rank equivalent to Assistant Professor or above. The award of up to $20,000 allows an individual in the early phases of his/her career to obtain special training or an individual in the later phases of his/her career to develop new skills or retrain in areas of developing interest.

The award can be used to support visits to other laboratories to acquire specific new skills and/or to support attendance at special courses devoted primarily to methodologies appropriate for either a new investigator or a more senior investigator entering a new field of research. The award does not include any reimbursement for indirect costs.

Applications submitted for the May 15 deadline should request funding for career enhancement activities that will be undertaken after July 15.

Applicants should note that incomplete applications will not be reviewed. A condition of the award is that successful applicants complete a short survey on the outcomes of their career enhancement activity 3-5 years after its completion. In addition, the Award should be acknowledged in any publications arising from the Research Career Enhancement Award.
