<Title>Internal Funding Reminder: START and SURFF due Thursday, Feb 12</Title>

<![CDATA[

    <div>Dear Colleagues,</div>

    <div>Applications for the following internal research and creative achievement (RCA) programs are due <strong>Thursday, February 12</strong>:</div>
    <div><ul>
    <li>
    <a href="https://research.umbc.edu/internal-funding-opportunities/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>START</strong></a>: Supports PI-eligible faculty (Assistant rank and above) in advancing research and creative endeavors.</li>

    <a href="https://research.umbc.edu/internal-funding-opportunities/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo"><strong>SURFF</strong></a>: Supports pre-tenure, tenure-track faculty pursuing summer research and creative projects.</li>
    </ul></div>
    <div>Both programs are <strong>catalytic</strong>, intended to fund initial phases of work that can be sustained beyond the award period. Proposals should outline how the project will continue, including specific external funding targets if applicable.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Because the likelihood of sustainability is a factor in funding decisions, we anticipate that a portion of this cycle's awards will support work related to <strong>Artificial Intelligence (AI)</strong>, reflecting emerging federal funding priorities in this area.</div>
