Workshop on START/SFF Programs
Tuesday, December 13, 2016 · 3 - 4 PM
This workshop is to discuss internal research funding under two mechanisms, both of which have deadlines in February 2017. Each program title below is linked to the respective request for proposals (RFP) with more details. This workshop is being offered to discuss the programs further. Please RSVP via myUMBC to attend this event.
Deadline: Monday, February 6, 2017
Competed annually, UMBC's START (formerly SRAIS) awards provide research funding for faculty 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 still establishing themselves, to tenured faculty who are re-establishing themselves after interruptions, and to tenured faculty entering new areas dependent on interdisciplinary collaboration. New this year, the name is now START (not SRAIS) and the maximum award is up to $25,000 (formerly $20,000).
Standard Summer Faculty Fellowship (SFF)
Deadline: Friday, February 10, 2017
Deadline: Friday, February 10, 2017
Also competed annually, the SFF program provides $6,000 in summer salary to early-career faculty who would benefit from the opportunity to focus on establishing their scholarly independence.
