English-language teaching in Japan and Asia
Experience and Opportunities
***reposted from the Dept of Education***
Monday, May 1, 2023 from 4:30 - 5:30 PM
Online
The presenter will overview the situation of English-language teaching in Japan -- defined here as teaching the language itself, i.e., TESOL; as well as English-medium education more broadly. The talk is mainly based on the presenter's experience from his early days at an English-language school in the late 1970s, through several university positions with increasing responsibilities and status, up until his recent retirement. While Japan was once a relatively open job market for English speakers desiring to get a foot in the teaching profession, it has tightened considerably over the years, particularly in the higher education sector. With this in mind, opportunities in other Asian countries where the ELT market has developed more recently will also be examined based on secondary sources.

Faculty Entrepreneurship AcceleraTor Fund (FEAT)
Feat – achievement requiring courage, skill, or strength
***reposted from the Office of Research and Creative Achievement***
Faculty Entrepreneurship AcceleraTor Fund
FEAT
____________________________________
Feat -- an achievement that requires great courage, skill, or strength
With support provided by the Office of Institutional Advancement (OIA) and the Office of Research and Creative Achievement (ORCA), we are happy to announce a new funding initiative called FEAT. The program is designed to help broaden the technology pipeline, while also assisting with later stage technology commercialization. It is available to UMBC's entrepreneurial PIs to advance their technical concept, or their idea (social/behavioral/policy related) in conjunction with technology, towards commercial success, and out to meet societal needs. FEAT is flexible to assist UMBC researchers in obtaining additional commercialization funding, and providing mentorship services.
FEAT will support things like prototype builds, market surveys, business plans, CEO support, mentoring assistance, special facility or equipment access -whatever your specific needs are to obtain your next commercialization funding (MII, MIPS, SBIR/STTR, Momentum Funds, etc.). This program will also enable UMBC, through OTD and bwtech, to identify for faculty existing resources, as well as provide new resources (like Market databases) based on faculty requests.
Proposal and Award Requirements: UMBC PI eligible applicants must submit a one-page proposal which details the following:
1) A non-confidential summary of the idea and its value proposition. What sets you apart from the competition?
2) Describe how the funding will result in the project receiving additional internal or external funding [ABCE CENTRE fund, OTD Technology Catalyst Fund, TEDCO Maryland Innovation Initiative, UMD I-Corps , Maryland Industrial Partnerships (MIPS), SBIR/ STTR program basics ] or advancing the technology to disclosure, licensing, or the creation of a start-up company.
3) A list of goals you hope to achieve. What specific threshold(s) will you cross?
4) The amount of funds needed for the project using a budget table.
5) When you will need the funds and when you expect the work to be completed.
6) Deliverable -- After the project is completed, awardee will provide a brief summary of how the funding assisted in the advancement of the technology. This can be relatively short (MII requirement satisfied, proposal submitted, award received, technology licensed, start-up formed).
Deadlines: Rolling submission, monthly reviews. Submit your one-page proposal to OTD@umbc.edu. Reviewed monthly, proposals are funded at the level deemed necessary to achieve the goals outlined in the proposal.

Current and Pending/Other Support: Updates to NIH and NSF Requirements and Institutional Approaches

3:35 - 4:30 pm EDT * After the Show * Talk with the Faculty Directly!
Over the last several years, federal agencies have worked to clarify disclosure requirements, partly due to directives in federal law and policy. Charged by the National Science and Technology Council's Research Security Subcommittee, NIH and NSF have been leading a multi-agency effort to create common disclosure forms, which include Current and Pending/Other Support. This webinar will cover the context in which NIH and NSF have made updates to their Current and Pending/Other Support formats, as well as go through specific changes made to each agency's forms. Jean and Michelle will share the current state of the multi-agency efforts and talk about the future of their agencies' formats. The webinar will also describe institutional approaches to updated agency requirements.
Format of webinar: 90-minute presentation, followed by 55 minutes of discussion.
The Dresher Center seeks an Associate Director to work closely with the Director and the Dresher Center team to shape and implement Dresher Center programs, grant proposals, and budget. The Associate Director will assist the Director in strategic decision making and shaping Dresher Center initiatives and goals. The Associate Director will also be responsible for serving in the Director’s place should the Director be unable to attend various Dresher Center activities or programs, or at university events or meetings.
