AI Summary
This bill, the Supporting Early-Career Researchers Act, authorizes the National Science Foundation (NSF) to establish a two-year pilot program to award grants to highly qualified early-career investigators. These grants would allow the investigators to carry out independent research programs at the institution of higher education of their choice, for a period of up to two years. The bill aims to forestall the loss of research talent that may occur due to the sharp economic decline caused by the COVID-19 health crisis, which has resulted in fewer openings for research and teaching positions at universities and industrial research labs.
