Support and Engagement Opportunities for Faculty

CSEP’s extensive network and expertise enable the development of critical infrastructure that serves as an effective institutional resource for faculty who lead initiatives ranging from individual PI grants to research centers. By maintaining a robust suite of programs that align with timely institutional and funding agency goals, CSEP is able to respond to the needs of new projects that require the ability to adapt existing resources to novel ideas.

CSEP offers several entry points for faculty, ranging from one-off to short-term engagement activities for individual PI awards, to multi-year commitments that include tailored design and implementation for multi-PI research centers. Faculty most often leverage CSEP’s Professional Development Series (PDS), which includes The School for Scientific Thought (SST) and Family Ultimate Science Exploration (FUSE), Summer Undergraduate Professional Development Conference, Early Undergraduate Research and Knowledge Acquisition (EUREKA), the CSEP Data Portal, and the expertise of CSEP professionals. Many of these activities and resources include embedded evaluation tools and protocols to collect relevant data shared with PIs for agency reporting.
