The Office of the Vice President for Research will conduct a workshop on internal funding opportunities for faculty on Monday, January 12, 2015, from 3:00-4:00 p.m. Two internal research programs with February application deadlines will be discussed.
Special Research Assistantship/Initiative Support (SRAIS)
Deadline: Monday, February 23, 2015
UMBC's SRAIS awards provide up to $20,000 in annual seed funding for faculty who will use these funds to better position themselves for further scholarly work that is not internally funded. If the applicant is a tenured professor, the proposal should be aimed at interdisciplinary collaboration.
Standard Summer Faculty Fellowship (SFF)
Deadline: Monday, February 16, 2015
The SFF program provides $6,000 in summer salary to early-career faculty who would benefit from the opportunity to focus on establishing their scholarly independence.
