Early Career Researchers

Early career researchers (ECRs) are usually professionals in their first four years of research activity, including the period of training; in other words, four years into the research experience following completion of the PhD.

At MSU, ECRs face challenges with funding, publishing, and career progression. ORD can help by finding appropriate funding mechanisms, assisting in project development, editing, and reviewing proposal and manuscript documents, and with finding collaborators to build a strong network.
