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:
- 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, due the first Monday of the month, monthly reviews. Submit your one-page proposal to Wendy Martin at wmartin@umbc.edu. Reviewed monthly, proposals are funded at the level deemed necessary to achieve the goals outlined in the proposal.

The
Connectionary program series is hosted by the Center for Democracy and Civic
Life to encourage and foster opportunities for conversation about issues that
affect our lives here at UMBC. Facilitated by UMBC students in the ConnectionCorps
civic dialogue program, these conversations help UMBC community members think
about their own experiences and identify pathways to engagement, shared
understanding, and opportunities for building a thriving campus community.
These sessions will be organized as dialogues, where the aim is to come to some shared understandings about what challenges and opportunities exist on campus. These will not be information sessions; participants should expect to be engaged in conversation about the issues, rather than just getting information.
Light
refreshments will be provided. See below for a list of opportunities. Click on
the event date links to go to the event pages for each of the sessions.
Affordability
on Campus
Facilitator:
Sebastian Zamora
The
cost of college is on many people’s minds and is especially a concern for
students who are navigating affordability on campus. What is there to be done
about it? How should we make sense of what is needed for a college experience
at UMBC to be affordable? What are the opportunities and challenges? Come join
in a dialogue about affordability on campus and access to financial resources.
Fostering
Professional Connections
Facilitator:
Kathryn Rambo
Looking
to form professional relationships with staff and faculty, but not sure where
to start? Do you find it challenging to figure out how to have the right
conversations with people to form professional connections? Join us for a
dialogue about creating relationships between students and faculty and staff to
generate genuine relationships in the atmosphere of professional academia as
well as how to nurture it after first making a connection.
How
To Be Involved
Facilitator:
Manav Vaishnav
Being involved on campus can be
challenging, especially when it comes to making choices about how you want to
be involved, how much, and with whom. This dialogue is focused on the
experience of being involved on campus. There are many different ways to get
involved on campus and within student organizations. The goal is for people to
come together and share experiences about involvement on campus. Come join in
conversation about what it means to be involved on campus in a way that is
healthy and fulfilling.
Rethinking
Research
Facilitator:
Khiara Diaz
How
do you get involved in research opportunities on campus? How do you connect
with others around research? This dialogue is focused on staff and students
discussing their involvement with research on campus. The goal is for people
with similar field interests to come together and talk about how they got
involved with research, how to come up with research topics, or current
projects they are doing. Whether you are a research expert or just getting
started, this event can broaden the way we all think about research. Join us
for a conversation about research experiences at UMBC. Each session is tailored
for a different UMBC college (in parentheses below), but all are welcome at
each.
