OSP Spring Break Deadlines
MEMORANDUM
DATE: 3/11/2025
TO:
Business Managers/Department Chairs/Center Directors/Faculty
FROM:
Michael T. Walsh, Director, Office of Sponsored Programs
RE:
OSP Spring Break Deadlines: March 17-2025-March 19,2025
_____________________________________________________________
Due to several recent inquiries on this topic, OSP is now
publishing this special announcement concerning the OSP schedule for reviewing/approving
proposals with deadlines to Federal, State, and Other Agencies that occur
during UMBC's Spring Break this year.
UMBC will be closed for a "University Holiday"
on Monday March 17th through Wednesday March 19th t
and will re-open on Thursday March 20d. Since UMBC is closed
during these three days, OSP will also be closed and OSP personnel will not be
available during the Spring Break holidays for consultation or proposal
submission(s).
Please note the following:
1. All proposals with
submission deadlines occurring on Monday March 17, 2025 and/or
Tuesday March 18, 2025 must be fully routed, ready for
submission, and released to the OSP office for final
review and submission by 9 AM on Friday March 14, 2025.
2. Thus,
proposals that have a 3/17, 3/18, or 3/19 submission date will be submitted on
3/14. Therefore, one should have their routing and proposal materials
(SOW, budget, bios, C&P,etc.) submitted to OSP no later than 9
AM on Wedneday March 12th. Technically, this allows for one extra day for
routing (as the routing policy calls for three business days, not two, for OSP
review).
Proposals received after the OSP deadlines specified above will be reviewed
on a first-come/first-serve basis and will be submitted only if time
permits. In keeping with the deadline enforcement policy of ORCA (Office
of the Vice President for Research & Creative Achievement), any proposal
not fully routed and ready for submission by 9:00 AM of the deadline date (3/14/25)
will not be submitted to the agency.
Best Regards,
Dr. Michael T. Walsh
Director

Programs

The Bernard L. Berkowitz Memorial Fund
Applications are due April 1, 2025
To commemorate the life and work of Bernard (“Bernie”) L. Berkowitz (1927-2023), an endowed annual award program has been established to encourage future generations of public servants who are demonstrating characteristics exhibited by Bernie Berkowitz in his career in Baltimore. The program is administered by the Center for Social Science Scholarship.
Born in 1927 in New York City to immigrant parents from rural Hungary, Bernie grew up in working class neighborhoods in the Bronx. His family’s experience with unemployment in the 1930’s was the basis of a lifelong commitment to social justice and economic development. He attended New York City public schools; graduated cum laude from C.C.N.Y. with a major in economics, and received a Master’s in Urban Planning from Columbia University. He served in the United States Army with occupation forces in Japan and Korea.
In all of his endeavors, Bernie exemplified “no nonsense” intellectual rigor, progressive social thinking, and creative thinking about practical solutions. He aspired to improve the Baltimore community by increasing economic opportunities. He believed in transcending divisions – bringing together people of different social and economic backgrounds. He is fondly remembered for his striving to “do the right thing”, always with a sense of humor and kindness.
Award recipients will be selected annually by UMBC faculty in the Center for Social Science Scholarship based on students’ demonstrated interest in and commitment to planning and economic development of the Baltimore community. Candidates should reflect the interests, values and character of Bernie Berkowitz. Preference will be given to those interested in public service or not-for-profit careers.
Undergraduate and graduate students are invited to apply by April 1, 2025.

Dear Research Community Members,
Our
friend and colleague Joanna Napoli will be retiring from UMBC on
March 31, 2025. Joanna joined the UMBC team on November 20, 2000 as an
Accountant in the Office of Contract and Grant Accounting (OCGA). She
has received multiple promotions and has led the department as the
Director of OCGA since July 6, 2021.
Joanna
has served with distinction and will be leaving a lasting impact on our
UMBC community. She has worked tirelessly to support the Research and
Create Achievement effort here at UMBC. Some of her notable achievements
include the publication and maintenance of the Post-Award Sponsored
Projects Guide, as well as the development and delivery of the
comprehensive Sponsored Post Award Training. She led the paperless
initiative which was completed just prior to 2020 and enabled us to
achieve the mission goals of OCGA uninterrupted during the COVID 19
pandemic. Joanna was also instrumental in our efforts to capture
institutional research dollars more effectively for reporting on the
HERD survey. Joanna has mentored many members of our campus community,
starting with our OCGA team in Financial Services. Her leadership and
guidance has maintained the integrity and timeliness of our financial
process during a time of unprecedented growth in UMBC's history.
Please
join the festivities as we thank Joanna for her many contributions to our Research
Community and celebrate and wish her our best in this new chapter of her
life.
Refreshments provided.
If you would like to contribute to a
gift, either electronically or with cash, please contact Amy
Steinly-Marks,
asmarks@umbc.edu Admin room 419 or Desiree Stonesifer,
sdesiree@umbc.edu Admin room 418. They will present the gifts at the
celebration.
On today's episode we hear a rebroadcast of the 2025 UMBC Mullen Lecture, sponsored by UMBC's Center for Social Science Scholarship and the UMBC Department of Economics. This year's lecture was delivered by Dr. Annamaria Lusardi. Dr. Lusardi is Senior Fellow at the Stanford Institute for Economic Policy Research, Director of the Initiative for Financial Decision-Making, and Professor (by courtesy) at the Stanford Graduate School of Business. Dr. Lusardi’s remarks take up the question of financial literacy among ordinary people around the world. In the talk, we learn about how much people know about personal finance, who is most vulnerable to economic predations due to their lack of financial literacy, and what we can do about it.
