The Distinguished Early Career Program (DECP) is the Office of Nuclear Energy's (NE) most prestigious award for faculty members beginning their independent careers. The intent of the program is to invest in the innovative research and education programs of outstanding early-career university faculty poised to pave new lines of inquiry and advance mission-critical research directions in nuclear energy while training the next generation of nuclear energy professionals. Panelists will consist of awardees for the Department of Energy's Office of Nuclear Energy's Distinguished Early Career Program. The purpose of this panel is to focus on insights regarding 1) challenges and barriers associated with balancing time and effort while teaching, mentoring, and researching; 2) tips on proposal writing; and 3) efforts related to developing and maintaining professional and/or collaborative relationships.
