Workshop Overview: This workshop covers the topic of collaborative research, including partnerships with industry. It ensures that researchers understand the principles of effective collaboration, including managing intellectual property, navigating contractual agreements, and maintaining academic integrity.
RSVPs recommended but not required. Attendance is taken at the event by scanning a QR code. Attendees more than 10 minutes late will not be allowed to receive credit for the micro credential.
A full syllabus of the RCR Microcredential Workshop Series offerings for Fall 2025 can be found here, as well as a list of readings and case studies for each session. Questions can be sent to rcr@umbc.edu.
More about the RCR Microcredential Series: Responsible Conduct of Research (RCR) training is required for all doctoral students, master's thesis students, and postdoctoral scholars on campus, but benefits all who are engaged with the research process. While UMBC continues to have online, self-paced CITI training that most may use to complete RCR, the National Institutes of Health (NIH) mandates that all personnel funded on their grants complete in-person, discussion-based RCR training across certain topics. This microcredential workshop serves as an option to complete that in-person, discussion-based training for one topic. Graduate students and postdocs who are not NIH funded may use online CITI training OR this set of microcredentials to satisfy their UMBC RCR

What happens when faculty from different disciplines/fields come together to explore public health? The Public Health Collaboration Grants 2026 are designed toanswer this question!This opportunity invites all full-timeCAHSS faculty from the social sciences, humanities, and artsdisciplines to explore unexpected connections in their interdisciplinary expertise with the aim of developing novel public health research questions. Faculty with ongoing health research projects, as well as those with absolutely no prior health research experience, are welcome to participate.

The PHRC Collaboration Grants 2026 program offers a supportive cohort model to help interdisciplinary teams of faculty develop and submit competitive proposals for external funding. The five selected faculty teams will meet as a cohort monthly from January through April 2026 for facilitated workshops, writing time, and peer feedback. Team members will receive salary support for summer 2026 and present a project update in a mini symposium to cohort members, PHRC staff, and CAHSS dean's office staff in August 2026. By the end of the program, faculty teams will have both a well-prepared submission ready application and a community of colleagues for future success.
As part of this initiative, applicants will propose a team of two to four CAHSS faculty who will collaboratively submit a future externally funded public health grant. Need help identifying collaborator(s) for a faculty team? Participate in our October Research Meet-Ups or just contact us.
