    having significant commercial potential from Qualifying Universities, where
    they were discovered, to the commercial sector, where they can be developed
    into products and services that meet identified market needs. Specifically, it
    is the intent of the MII Program to foster the commercialization of such
    technologies through technical validation, market assessment, licensing to a
    suitable commercial partner or through the creation of start-up companies in
    Maryland.</p><p>The maximum award for projects spanning two phases of the
    Program (Technology Assessment and Company Formation) may total up to $430,000
    at a single Qualifying University and up to $480,000 made to two or more
    Qualifying Universities submitting joint projects.</p>
    
    <p>UMBC faculty will discuss their experiences in obtaining MII
    funding to commercialize their inventions.</p>

<Title>Kuali Protocols and Kuali COI notifications- Sent Sunday</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content"><p>Hi All,</p><p>Some of you may have been notified recently regarding notifications sent out Sunday. We just wanted to make you aware of an issue Kuali encountered while performing an upgrade to their
     core databases during the maintenance window this past Sunday. This issue caused some valid protocol and COI notifications to send in 
    duplicate to recipients.  During the upgrade two of Kuali's notification 
    servers were inappropriately active at the same time which caused 
    duplicate notifications to send.  This was discovered and resolved 
    earlier Monday and  a retro on this issue will be done to make sure Kuali takes necessary steps to avoid this in the future.  We apologize for the 
    inconvenience and any confusion the duplicate emails sent earlier today 
    caused.  If you have any further questions please let your compliance officer know, if they have not reached out to you already. These emails would have been sent during the 
    window of 11:38am - 2:54pm PT (the bulk were sent between 11:38am - 
    11:50am PT) Sunday.  Again, we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and 
    confusion this caused our users. <br></p><p>Thanks</p><p>RAS<br></p></div>

     identify steps required to comply with university and Federal 
    regulatory requirements. One of the biggest concerns the Federal 
    government has identified in dealing with foreign engagements are called
     Malign Foreign Talent Recruitment Programs (MFTRPs).   MFTRPs are 
    programs funded by foreign governments to recruit key researchers in 
    order to collect scientific and technical information that is not yet 
    published or is otherwise restricted.  Currently, the Federal government
     has identified China, North Korea, Russia and Iran as state sponsors of
     MFTRPs.   </span></div><div><span><br></span></div><div><span>The White House Office of Science and Technology Policy 
    issued guidance on MFTRPs on 2/14/2024 which can be found here: </span><a href="https://www.whitehouse.gov/wp-content/uploads/2024/02/OSTP-Foreign-Talent-Recruitment-Program-Guidelines.pdf" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">OSTP-Foreign-Talent-Recruitment-Program-Guidelines.pdf (whitehouse.gov)</a><span>. 
     There are currently a number of pending Federal regulations regarding 
    participation in MFTRPs that will apply to university grant recipients 
    who accept Federal grant fundings, to include the CHIPS and Science Act 
    of 2022, NSPM-33 and NSF PAPPG.  The Office of Research Protections and 
    Compliance (ORPC) is responsible for maintaining compliance with the 
    applicable MFTRP regulations.  If you have been asked to engage in a 
    foreign collaborative project, please complete this form so that ORPC 
    may assess if the request possesses any risk of being deemed as an 
    MFTRP:  </span><a href="https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1K0efgXh3TfMMRuCEvbVFdlEC801_UAoJnC9Onm9yx5k/edit" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Foreign Partnership Disclosure Form – Google Forms</a><div><br></div><div><span><strong><u><em>For
