Discovery Corps Fellowships: The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program is an extended pilot program seeking new postdoctoral and professional development models that combine research with service-oriented projects. Discovery Corps Fellows develop integrated plans that incorporate an ambitious research project with other activities that address areas of national need (including enhanced research capacity and infrastructure, workforce development and job creation, and innovative linkages between chemistry and other fields). For this extended pilot program, successful Fellows will propose research projects in areas supported by the NSF Division of Chemistry. The Discovery Corps Fellowship Program comprises two categories of awards: recent doctoral recipients serve as Discovery Corps Postdoctoral Fellows; and mid-career professionals serve as Discovery Corps Senior Fellows.

Additional Information on Eligibility: Proposals may only be submitted by the following: * Fellowship proposals may be submitted by a US university, college, or non-profit, non-academic organization with the prospective Fellow as the Principal Investigator (PI). * Fellowship proposals may also be submitted by individuals who are unaffiliated or who are affiliated with for-profit organizations, state or local governments or federal agencies. When applying as independent/unaffiliated individuals, Fellow applicants must register with FastLane or Grants.gov prior to submitting their proposal and, if recommended for a Fellowship, must affiliate with a US university, college, or non-profit, non-academic organization, which administers the Fellowship award. PI Limit: The PI on a Discovery Corps proposal must be the prospective Fellow. No co-PIs are allowed. Other research personnel and consultants are permitted. At the time of award, a Fellow must hold a doctorate in the chemical sciences and must be a US citizen or permanent resident. For a Postdoctoral Fellowship, the individual must have received his or her doctorate within the last two years. For Senior Fellowships, the individual must have at least ten years of professional experience beyond doctoral and postdoctoral training. Exceptions to these time-related restrictions can be made for extenuating personal circumstances, such as a career interruption due to family responsibilities, but must be approved by a cognizant program officer prior to submission of the proposal.
