¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder NSF CAREER Community

The  program offers the most prestigious awards in support of junior faculty who exemplify the role of teacher-scholar through outstanding research, excellent teaching and the integration of education and research within the context of the mission of their organizations. ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä Boulder is fortunate to have more than 100 NSF CAREER recipients on campus, spanning over 20 departments. These awards recognize the outstanding contribution of our faculty to research and education efforts across campus.

Each year, the Research & Innovation Office convenes a gathering of all awardees (and their respective department chairs and college deans/associate deans) for an NSF CAREER Community Celebration. This annual celebration provides a time and space to recognize our community of CAREER recipients, celebrate new awardees, and provide an opportunity for awardees to meet and network with one another across disciplines. At each gathering, a few awardees are selected to give short presentations about how the NSF CAREER award has impacted their respective careers. This year's celebration will be scheduled in the Fall of 2022. Check back here for updates or subscribe to our RIO bulletin to always be updated on our upcoming events.

Congratulations to all of our NSF CAREER award recipients listed below.
