About
Identifying funding opportunities can be difficult and challenging for early career scientists. Join us in this webinar to learn how funding opportunities at the DOE Office of Science for early career scientists are identified, applied for, granted, and managed. Our invited speakers will first give an overview of funding opportunities at the DOE Office of Science, and then focus on funding opportunities for early career scientists. Questions from the audience as well as prepared questions will be addressed by the speakers. This zoom webinar is free and open to the public.
