Summer Research Faculty Fellowship (SURFF)Competed annually, UMBC's START awards provide up to $25,000 in research funding for faculty members who will use these funds to better position themselves for further scholarly work that is not internally funded. To that end, priority is given to untenured, tenure track faculty members still establishing themselves, to tenured faculty members who are re-establishing themselves after interruptions, and to tenured faculty members entering new areas dependent on interdisciplinary collaboration.
Deadline: Friday, February 21, 2020 at 11:59pm
Also competed annually, the SURFF program provides $6,000 in summer salary to early-career faculty members who would benefit from the opportunity to focus on establishing their scholarly independence.
