<Tagline>INDS Spring 2022 Graduate Highlight Series</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><h5>B.A. INDS: Civic Renewal and Creative Expression<br></h5><h6>Humanities Scholar<br>Kaplan Scholar<br>Magna Cum Laude</h6><h4></h4><br><p><strong>Degree Mentors</strong></p><ul><li>David Hoffman, Center for Democracy and Civic Life </li><li>Romy Hübler, Center for Democracy and Civic Life </li><li>Lia Purpura, English</li><li>Steven McAlpine, Individualized Study<br></li></ul><strong>Why did you choose to major in INDS?</strong><div><div><div>I made the choice to switch to INDS during my junior year after feeling increasingly constricted in my pre-defined major. I was studying English on the Communication &amp; Technology track, analyzing the rhetorical objectives of various kinds of "texts" (i.e. genres of communication). In the gateway courses for the major, my peers, instructors, and I explored a broad array of texts including board games, poems, and music... but as we progressed into upper-level classes, we focused predominantly on the texts of scholarly books and papers. The rhetorical study of multimedia texts (and, notably, art) was something that deeply fascinated me, and I was distressed to be moving away from it when it was the thing that had drawn me to the track in the first place. In addition, I felt like my academics were insufficiently aligned with my growing sense of purpose in community engagement work, which I was exploring through extracurricular activities. When I shared with each of them that my frustration was reaching a breaking point, David Hoffman, Romy Hübler, and Lia Purpura—dear supervisors and professors of mine who went on to become my degree mentors—recommended that I consider the INDS program, so I signed up for INDS 330: Ways of Knowing. My instructors and peers seemed to be asking the right questions: challenging our conceptions of studenthood and academia as a whole; encouraging us to leap off of paved paths and "claim our education." I learned quickly and profoundly that the unique exploration I wanted to take was not only possible but within reach. Once I discovered that the winged sandals of agency had been on my feet all along, there was no going back. I took flight as an INDS major... and I have only continued to soar.</div><div><br></div></div><div><br></div><div><strong>What are your plans for after graduation, and how do you see using your INDS degree? </strong><br><div><div>During my time as a UMBC undergraduate student, I have blossomed into a facilitator and designer of spaces in which people gain awareness of the roles they can and do play in fostering a thriving democracy at any scale and in any setting. Following my graduation in May 2022, I intend to continue co-creating an ethos of agency, self confidence, and communion felt deeply by people around the world. I hope to be able to do this work in ways that allow me to indulge and draw from my identity as a poet, visual artist, musician, and aspiring theater-maker. I can see myself facilitating creative expression workshops and programs for community groups and/or working as an organizer to help create a collaborative piece of art such as a literary magazine or a performance piece. </div></div><div><br></div><strong>EXTRACURRICULAR</strong><br><div><div>I am a founding staff member of UMBC's Center for Democracy and Civic Life; I started my internship in 2018 and was named senior intern in 2020. Through my work with the Center, I have presented at Civic Learning and Democratic Engagement (CLDE) National Meetings every year since 2019. I also serve as a co-chair of the University System of Maryland's Student Civic Leaders Committee, which I joined in 2020 when it was created, and I have been a coach multiple times with STRiVE, UMBC's leadership for social impact program. Artwork that I have created for Center initiatives has been featured in exhibitions at OCA Mocha and UMBC's 2021 University Retreat, and it is currently on display on the second floor of The Commons.</div><div><br></div><div>Outside of my work with the Center for Democracy and Civic Life, I have gotten involved in various student organizations, jobs, and volunteer opportunities on campus. I worked with UMBC's Student Government Association (SGA) for a year and a half on the Election Board and the Communications Department, eventually becoming Director of Communications for the spring 2019 semester, and with Commonvision for a year and a half as a graphic designer. In addition, I was the founding secretary of the student organization Retriever Poets; a Study Abroad Ambassador with the Education Abroad Office; and a peer facilitator with the Introduction to an Honors University (IHU) program.</div></div><div><br></div><div><strong>For more information on Tess's INDS journey please click here:</strong></div></div></div></div>

<Title>Introducing NIH&#8217;s New Scientific Data Sharing Website</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>NIH has announced the availability of a <a href="https://sharing.nih.gov/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">new website on Scientific Data Sharing</a>. Whether you are involved in an NIH-funded project and want to understand <a href="https://sharing.nih.gov/other-sharing-policies/which-policies-apply-to-my-research" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">which sharing policies apply to your research</a> and how to comply, or you are a researcher looking to <a href="https://sharing.nih.gov/accessing-data" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">access scientific data</a> from NIH-affiliated repositories, this site is for you.</p><p>NIH has a long-standing commitment to making the research it funds available to the public. This commitment is demonstrated through a variety of sharing policies that function to increase the transparency and availability of scientific data and resources.  NIH policies expect:</p><ul><li>The appropriate sharing of scientific data to be maximized</li><li>Data from large scale genomic studies to be broadly and responsibly shared</li><li>Research tools developed with NIH funding to be made accessible to other researchers</li><li>Unique model organisms to be made available to the scientific community</li><li>Clinical trials to be registered and summary results reported in ClinicalTrials.gov</li><li>Peer reviewed manuscripts to be publicly available on PubMed Central</li></ul><p>The new website will help you navigate these policies, providing you with step-by-step guides, infographics, tools and resources to help you on your way. In the case of clinical trials and public access policies, the site provides a central access point and visibility to these policies, and links out to existing NIH sites for more information.</p><p>A key goal of the site is to serve as a central portal, providing information on both NIH-wide and NIH Institute and Center-specific sharing policies and data repositories in a way that is easily sortable and searchable.</p><p>Over the next few months, in preparation for the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy that goes into effect for applications due on or after January 25, 2023, we will be adding a number of resources to the site including: sample sharing plans, tips for taking data sharing into consideration when developing your budget, additional <a href="https://sharing.nih.gov/faq" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">FAQs</a>, and more. We'll be sure to let you know when these new resources are released through the Nexus and other channels. We are also planning on a <a href="https://sharing.nih.gov/about/learning/DMS-Update" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">two-part webinar series</a> on the new NIH Data Management and Sharing Policy to be held this summer to walk the community through the details of the new policy and answer questions, the recording of which will also be available on the website. </p><p>The site will regularly feature new and existing resources, events, and tools from across NIH, so check back regularly to see what's new on the Resources section of the home page and the <a href="https://sharing.nih.gov/news-events" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">News and Events page</a>! Have questions about sharing and accessing data? The <a href="https://sharing.nih.gov/contacts-and-help" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Contacts and Help page</a> on the new site will help you identify who you might reach out to when in need of assistance.</p></div>
