The Office of the Vice President for Research hosted a Lunch & Learn Session to welcome new faculty members from across the campus to learn about how the Research Office can support the development of active and successful research programs.

“It important for our faculty to be aware of the services provided by OVPR and to learn about the responsibilities they share as PIs on federal, state or private sector research awards,” said Karl V. Steiner, Vice President for Research. “I am delighted to see so many of our new faculty joined us for this introduction.”

About 20 new faculty members and several department chairs participated in the meeting, as OVPR representatives introduced the roles and responsibilities of UMBC’s four offices: the Office of Research Development - presented by Don Engel, the Office of Sponsored Programs - presented by Michael Walsh and Matthew Poland, the Office of Research Protections & Compliance - presented by Tim Sparklin and the Office of Technology Development - presented by Wendy Martin.
