CADRE launched its Postdoc Professional Growth Opportunity in 2018 as part of its broader efforts to support early career researchers in STEM education. Postdoc candidates are nominated by members of active DRK-12 projects. As part of the program, postdocs:
- participate in webinars on funding research;
- learn about developing NSF proposals;
- build community with postdocs from other institutions; and
- network with DRK-12 awardees, NSF program directors, and other early career scholars.
Twenty early career researchers have participated in the CADRE Postdoc Professional Growth Opportunity, representing 17 different academic and non-academic institutions across the U.S. The CADRE Postdoc Professional Growth Opportunity merged with the CADRE Fellows Program in 2022.
