The advice offered throughout the guide comes from experienced researchers who are part of the National Science Foundation’s Discovery Research PreK–12 (NSF DRK–12) community. Over the past eight years, they have graciously shared their experiences with small groups of doctoral students and other early career researchers through the CADRE Fellows program. Those experiences and insights have been compiled to provide guidance on navigating the STEM education field as an early career professional.  \nThe guide is divided into two parts. Part I offers tips and resources to address the needs of STEM education researchers who are early in their careers, prim","cbCaic4RJYvnb7hw","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaic4RJYvnb7hw","pdf",2396192,61,"English","# Introduction\n## About this guide\n## About CADRE and the CADRE Fellows program\n# Part I: Tips for Early Career Researchers\n## Tips for pursuing academic careers\n## Tips for pursuing non-academic careers\n## Tips for writing for publication\n## Tips for building professional networks\n## Tips for developing NSF proposals\n# Part II: An approach to supporting early career STEM education researchers","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of the CADRE Early Career Guide?\",\"answer\":\"It provides guidance for navigating the STEM education field as an early career professional, based on experiences shared by the NSF DRK–12 community and the CADRE Fellows program.\"},{\"question\":\"How is the guide organized?\",\"answer\":\"The guide has two parts: Part I offers practical tips and resources for early career researchers, and Part II describes a model for supporting them through the CADRE Fellows program.\"},{\"question\":\"Who can use this guide besides early career researchers?\",\"answer\":\"Advisors, supervisors, mentors, and program leads can select relevant elements from Parts I and II to build customized supports for groups of early career STEM education professionals.\"}]","CADRE Early Career Guide - Tips for Early Career STEM Education Researchers | PDF",1792047870,154]
