Bill Summary
AN ACT To forestall the loss of research talent by establishing a temporary early career research fellowship program.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a temporary, 2-year early-career research fellowship program to be administered by the National Science Foundation (NSF). The program aims to provide grants to highly qualified early-career researchers to conduct independent research at the institution of their choice, in order to prevent the loss of research talent due to the economic impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic. The bill includes provisions for outreach to recruit diverse applicants from across the country, and requires the NSF to submit a report to Congress on the effectiveness of the program. The bill also authorizes $250 million in funding for each of fiscal years 2021 and 2022 to carry out these activities.
