Request for Articles:
Social and Economic Impacts of the COVID-19 Pandemic

Articles are due by March 10, 2021.

"For this issue of RSF, we invite original research contributions pertaining to the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on socioeconomic inequality in the United States and in particular how pre-existing inequalities may have mediated the impact of the pandemic and in turn been exacerbated by the current crisis. We are particularly interested in studies that focus on how institutions, ranging from the health care system, corrections and criminal justice, childcare policies, social safety net programs, and labor market policies have either mitigated or exacerbated the impact of the pandemic on social and economic outcomes as well as studies that focus on the likely longer-term impacts of the pandemic on inequality in the United States."

A message from our colleagues at the Shriver Center who are leading UMBC’s Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation efforts:


The National Day of Racial Healing is on Tuesday, January 19, 2021. This annual observance was first introduced by the W.K. Kellogg Foundation on January 17, 2017 and has been celebrated every year since. The goal of the day is to promote racial healing and equity through collective action. To learn more click HERE. 

As a Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation Campus Center, we are honoring the day by welcoming you to join our letter writing campaign regarding the Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT) Congressional Resolution, also known as S. Con. Res. 50.  Introduced by Senator Cory Booker, this concurrent resolution calls for the establishment of a United States Commission on Truth, Racial Healing, and Transformation (TRHT). 

Through our letter writing campaign, we encourage you to voice your thoughts on the TRHT resolution by writing letters to your senators. During the first hour of the event, you will have the chance to learn more about the resolution as well as the TRHT work that is happening on campus and in the surrounding community. The last 30 minutes will be an optional space for you to work through the thoughts and experiences that you would like to include in your letter with the facilitators.

Ethnography at a Distance Faculty Working Group
January 2021 Meetings

Webex Link

In order to pursue the mission of the working group, which is to figure out ways to continue our own ethnographic research during this time of social distancing and to coach our students in theirs, we are going to have a series of focused conversations from 10-11:30 during January:
  • Jan. 8 - **11:30-1** this date only
     Doing standard ethnography at a distance
  • Jan. 12 - Teaching ethnography at a distance
  • Jan. 19 - Doing new kinds of ethnography at a distance
  • Jan. 29 - ***10-11***ethical considerations in doing ethnography at a distance
These conversations will be open to anyone currently doing or teaching ethnography to drop in to any or all sessions that interest them. While the group is primarily for faculty, we also welcome advanced graduate students using ethnographic methods.   

Please visit our website to learn more about this Faculty Working Group and others sponsored by The Center for Social Science Scholarship.

California State University, Long Beach

Applications are now being accepted for the 2021 Summer Cohort for the Center for Health Equity Research (CHER) Institute. 

June 7-12, 2021

The program aims to enhance the readiness of early career faculty at minority-servicing institutions (MSIs) to conduct community-based, social and health behavior research and to increase their representation among National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded investigators.

Apply by the priority deadline: March 5, 2021. 

Now in its fourth year, the CHER Institute is proud to offer a program aiming to enhance the readiness of early career faculty at minority-serving institutions (MSIs) to conduct community-based, social and health behavior research and to increase their representation among National Institutes of Health (NIH)-funded investigators.

This past June, CHER Institute moved to an online format: In previous years, faculty from across the U.S. would convene at California State University, Long Beach (CSULB) to participate in the six-day, intensive research training experience. Due to concerns over COVID-19, the 2020 CHER Institute adapted to a different model. Because the safety of all participants is important to us, the 2020 CHER Institute was held in a virtual space.

Participants still received mentorship by a team of nationally-recognized social and health behavior research experts, including webinars to provide additional training to faculty participants and others who are interested in health equity research. This year our team created web portals and used Zoom seminars and breakout rooms to achieve the same goals. 



For researchers pursuing external funding, the Center for Social Science Scholarship maintains a list of general social science RFPs as well as those specific to COVID-19.  More information is also available here.

For assistance with proposal preparation and submissions:  Social science PIs generally obtain pre-award and post-grant management assistance from MIPAR. To set up an appointment, email mipar_info@umbc.edu. For faculty submitting proposals to foundations, please consult Bruce Lyons in UMBC’s Office of Institutional Advancement.
