Faculty Support
DOE Early Career Program faculty support consulting.
Help your sponsored programs office give DOE Early Career applicants the same reviewer-side perspective that wins awards.
The Engagement
Move your internal review closer to the DOE review.
Universities that win DOE Early Career awards consistently tend to have internal review processes that mirror the DOE review — the same kinds of questions, the same priorities, the same rigor. Dr. Spotz helps sponsored programs and research development offices build that internal apparatus.
This work draws directly on his eight years co-leading the applied mathematics program at DOE ASCR, where he shepherded Early Career proposals through review from the program-manager side.
What's Included
How the engagement works.
- Review of your existing DOE Early Career applicant materials and internal review process.
- Development of PM-perspective review checklists your internal readers can use.
- Optional applicant-facing workshop or webinar for your DOE Early Career cohort.
- Debrief sessions with your sponsored programs staff.
- Ongoing advisory as your applicants move toward submission.
