Career Awards for Science and Mathematics Teachers - Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Awards for Science and Mathematics Teachers Career Awards for Science and Mathematics Teachers Program Officer Alfred Mays Provides Insight into the Career Awards for Science and Mathematics Teachers Transcription of “Career Awards for Science and Mathematics Teachers” 00;00;02;19 – 00;00;20;01 We are here to share some important information about the career award for science and mathematics teachers from the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.
Joining me now is fund program officer for Science Education and Diversity, Alfred Mays, who oversees the award program. 00;00;20;01 – 00;00;43;26 The Career Awards for Science and Math Teachers is one of our more recent awards. We’ve had several cycles It’s being offered every other year.
We begin in 2012 and we concluded our last session in 2016. Now we’re upon our next cycle and we’re looking forward to creating greater awareness across the state with this particular award as its title. 00;00;44;01 – 00;00;52;17 It recognizes the best and brightest in STEM across the state.
It references science and math, but we like to say that it’s really recognizing STEM teachers. 00;00;52;26 – 00;01;01;15 Alfred The deadline is rapidly approaching for this year’s awards applications. Fill us in on when it is and what needs to be done.
00;01;01;18 – 00;01;30;28 We open up the request for proposals on May 21st through an online submission that can be made through the open application period, which, as you stated, closes September 24th of this year. And we did that in a strategic way.
We want to provide teachers with awareness of this award at the end of the school year that would allow them time over the summer to actually reflect and prepare their proposal and to hopefully make final submission at the beginning of the school year.
00;01;31;03 – 00;01;44;07 We typically ended the application previously in mid-September, but knowing how busy teachers are at the beginning of each school year, we decided to extend it an additional week. So we’re very hopeful that that will result in an increase in the applicant pool. 00;01;44;08 – 00;01;50;26 Are there any other important aspects of the application process that interested teachers need to know?
00;01;51;02 – 00;02;24;19 I think the grant applications and in some instances can be intimidating, especially when you’re referring to the best and brightest across the state in STEM teaching and learning. I would offer to teachers that the Burroughs Wellcome Fund seeks to recognize the best and brightest, and we know that teachers across the state are talented.
Many of them feel that promoting themselves is somewhat difficult, but we seek for them to do that, to highlight their accomplishments, to highlight the body of work, their successes and what they would propose in terms of having an impact on student growth and outcomes. 00;02;25;02 – 00;02;41;00 So the grant application itself is somewhat formal.
The process and reviewing selections is somewhat formal, but teachers should be able to relax and simply reflect and propose knowing that they do wonderful things in the classroom every day. And we just like to know more about what they’re doing and recognize that. 00;02;42;10 – 00;02;50;04 So should interested teachers contact you directly if they have questions about the application process or the status of their applications?
00;02;50;09 – 00;03;14;24 I think those interested in applying should perhaps go to our website and get a get general overview of the the award program itself. And after reviewing the information, share on the website, feel free to give our staff a call for any questions or if they’re in need of additional information. I would also suggest that those interested perhaps visit our website and look at our prior award recipients.
00;03;14;24 – 00;03;27;21 Our cohort of awardees stand ready to answer questions and actually share information about their experience from the application process through the actual end of the war period and the impact that they’ve had as a result of the war. 00;03;28;13 – 00;03;37;18 Alfred, thanks for joining me today.
To help generate new interest and enthusiasm for the Burroughs Wellcome Fund Career Award for science and mathematics teachers. 00;03;37;27 – 00;03;42;21 Thank you, Terry, and thanks for sharing this information with our volunteers. Russ Campbell is the director of science communication and senior communications officer for the Burroughs Wellcome Fund.

NCI Continuing Umbrella of Research Experiences (CURE) Academic Career Excellence (ACE) Award (K32) is a grant from the National Cancer Institute (NCI) that funds early postdoctoral fellows from diverse backgrounds, including underrepresented groups, to pursue research training in cancer-related fields. The K32 award supports fellows within 12 months prior to transitioning into, or within the first two years of, a postdoctoral position. The program, operated through NCI's Center to Reduce Cancer Health Disparities (CRCHD), aims to enhance the pool of qualified diverse cancer researchers. Beginning with the June 12, 2025 due date, the CURE ACE Award is available in both Independent Clinical Trial Required and Independent Clinical Trial Not Allowed versions. Eligible applicants must be U.S. citizens or permanent residents at time of award.
The NIA Academic Leadership Career Award (K07, No Independent Clinical Trial) is a career development award from the National Institute on Aging (NIH) that supports established investigators who want to expand their expertise in aging-related research and academic leadership. Awards provide up to $150,000 per year to fund protected research and mentoring time. Eligible applicants are investigators with a doctoral degree (PhD, MD, or equivalent) who are named PD/PI on an active R01 or equivalent NIA grant, devote 25-50% full-time professional effort to the award, and are U.S. citizens or permanent residents. The application deadline is March 20, 2026.
The FFAR New Innovator in Food and Agriculture Research Award supports early-career tenure-track faculty conducting innovative research in food and agriculture, including AI, precision agriculture, and computational approaches. The award provides up to $150,000 per year for up to 3 years ($450,000 total), making it one of the most substantial early-career grants available in agricultural sciences. FFAR's research priority areas include agroecosystems, food systems, production systems, and scientific workforce development — all of which increasingly involve AI and data-driven technologies. Research must directly benefit U.S. agricultural interests. The program follows a nomination-based application process: the nomination period opened February 11, 2026, with nominations due March 18, 2026, and full applications due April 29, 2026. FFAR was established through the 2014 Farm Bill and builds public-private partnerships to match congressional funding with private sources. The foundation supports research addressing major food and agriculture challenges including precision agriculture technologies, crop monitoring systems, and data-driven farm management tools. Note: This award is contingent on funding availability as FFAR has limited programmatic funds remaining.
