Professor Sara Gerke has been selected to participate in the Spring 2026 cohort of the NSF CAREER Club. This campus initiative helps equip faculty with knowledge, resources, and writing support necessary to develop a competitive proposal for the National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Program (CAREER). As a participant, Gerke will be provided access to information sessions, training and consultation, structured writing groups, peer feedback, reviews by experienced research development staff, and a supportive environment throughout the proposal process, from conception to submission, all at no cost.
