[Gradstudents] Fellowship Opportunity: 2022 CADRE Fellows program

Tue Oct 26 08:27:08 PDT 2021

CADRE is now accepting applications for the 2022 CADRE Fellows program. We invite early career scholars to apply. If you are a more senior scholar and know someone who may be a good fit for the program, we encourage you to invite them to apply.

The CADRE Fellows program provides professional growth opportunities for early career professionals in the field of preK-12 STEM education research. Through a series of capacity-building activities, the program offers Fellows the opportunity to gain insight into what it takes to be successful and effective in this field, become more familiar with National Science Foundation (NSF) practices, and network with experienced researchers and other early career researchers from across the country. For more information about the Fellows program, please visit the CADRE Fellows webpage<http://cadrek12.org/cadre-fellows>. There, you will find an overview of the program, the calendar of activities for the upcoming year, Fellows’ bios, and more.

This year the program will be held virtually and run from January - July 2022. Program activities will focus on career pathways, research use and dissemination, community building, and research funding.

As part of the program, CADRE Fellows will:

  *   Attend a virtual orientation on January 10-11, 2022 (all synchronous meetings will be held after noon ET to accommodate West Coast participants).
  *   Participate in discussion with DRK-12 awardees and other STEM education researchers during a series of interactive, topical webinars;
  *   Take advantage of informal networking opportunities;
  *   Collaborate with other Fellows on activities designed to meet the needs of early career researchers;
  *   Meet NSF program directors, learn about the NSF proposal review process, and participate in a mock review led by an NSF program director; and
  *   Advance a career-development project specific to their interests (e.g., developing job application materials, a manuscript for publication, a grant proposal, or their research agenda), resulting in a formal presentation at the end of the program.

Each month, Fellows will be expected to participate in two 90-minute synchronous webinars. Fellows will attend that month’s topical webinar with a panel of STEM education researchers and participate in post-panel discussions and activities with other Fellows. Prior to the webinars, Fellows will be asked to read bios of the presenters, brainstorm discussion questions, and complete tasks in preparation for the post-panel discussions and activities. Additionally, Fellows will participate in monthly working sessions to advance their career-development projects in collaboration with other Fellows.

We invite early career preK-12 STEM education scholars who will be able to contribute to and benefit from this program, and for whom the program will fill an opportunity gap in their professional development, to apply. Applicants can be a member of an NSF research project team, someone in an education department, or a researcher at a non-profit. More specifically, applicants should:

  1.  Be a doctoral student, postdoc, or similar early career professional at either an academic or non-academic institution.
  2.  Demonstrate the desire and potential for advancing the field of preK-12 STEM education.
  3.  Have professional experience and career goals that contribute to diversity, inclusion, equity, and/or justice in preK-12 STEM education.
  4.  Have research experience in education and exhibit evidence of leadership.
  5.  Have the capacity to commit and contribute to the Fellows program by fully participating in all activities<http://cadrek12.org/sites/default/files/2022%20CADRE%20Fellows%20Calendar%20of%20Activities.pdf>.

Early career researchers must complete the application form available on our website at http://cadrek12.org/cadre-fellows-application. Application materials include an application form, personal statement, CV or resume, and a letter of recommendation from a senior researcher (e.g., faculty member or research scientist). Those writing letters of recommendation should address how the CADRE Fellows Program fills an opportunity gap in the applicant’s professional development, provide evidence that the applicant will likely commit and contribute to the program, and describe the leadership qualities of the applicant. The selection process will occur in two stages. First, applications will be reviewed by a team of external reviewers. Based on those reviews, select applicants will then be invited for a brief video or phone interview. CADRE aims to establish a cohort of 15 Fellows that represent diverse backgrounds, experience, interests, professional goals, institutions, and geographic regions. Special consideration will be given to applicants who have not had similar professional development opportunities and are from institutions that have not previously had a CADRE Fellow.

Applications are due by 5:00 PM ET on Friday, November 19, 2021.

The CADRE Team
