Center and Institute Departmentally-Engaged Research (CIDER)

Tue, 13 Sep 2022 09:41:14 -0400

Dear Colleagues,

To deepen the relationships between UMBC's centers/institutes and UMBC's departments, applications are invited for a new opportunity: the Center and Institute Departmentally-Engaged Research (CIDER) seed funding program.

CIDER principal investigators must hold primary appointments in a UMBC unit that is not degree-granting (e.g., they are primarily appointed to conduct research and/or creative activities in a UMBC center or institute). Proposals must also include at least one Co-I whose primary appointment is in a degree-granting department. Proposals are encouraged from all disciplines and combinations thereof.

Proposals are due December 2, 2022. We anticipate making three $50k awards this cycle.

For more details, please see the solicitation and application form. Please direct any questions not answered by these links to ord@umbc.edu.

Sincerely,

---
