Kuali COI Module Updates

Starts Saturday, June 13, 2020!

Dear PI’s & Faculty,

The ORPC wants to inform you we have been working with Kuali to update UMBC’s conflict of interest disclosure form and processes. This next stage in the COI disclosure process makes the form easier to read, removes Master Contract duplicate reporting, provides more complete disclosures of projects (awards and proposals), and improves financial entity data capture to ensure COI management plans capture potential conflicts. Subsequently, an upgrade to the existing Kuali module is scheduled for June 12, 2020.

We ask that you do not log into Kuali COI beginning 12:00 am Friday, June 12, 2020 through 12:00 am June 13, 2020. This will allow the system to correctly transfer your disclosure records in the COI upgrade.

What this means for you

In general, the processes of COI disclosure for proposals and awards (projects) have not changed. Kuali COI will continue to send you emails requesting you to update annual disclosure when you are identified in project(s) as a “key person, such as the Principal Investigator. Beginning with the upgrade, as you log into Kuali COI, a new reporting format with an updated list of your disclosed projects(s) will appear. Kuali COI will highlight any new projects that require action from you, including relationships to financial entities. Nothing is required from "negative disclosures" of COI or for projects previously disclosed.

Next Steps

Again, as a reminder, do not login Kuali COI anytime on June 12, 2020. Starting June 13, 2020 log into your Kuali COI dashboard to become familiar with the changes and to review your disclosure record. Then, update as requested. The OPRC will update the COI User Guide with screenshots to assist with your disclosures. Of course, if there are any questions, please do not hesitate to contact us at compliance@umbc.edu.

Unfunded Agreements

Our COI and OSP teams have been working with Kuali to create a one-stop reporting portal for your entire Research and Creative Achievement (RCA) portfolio. This involves transitioning unfunded agreements into Kuali. We started with Data Use Agreements and CRADA’s and will be transitioning to others such as Material Transfer Agreements (MTA’s), Non-Disclosure Agreements (NDA’s), etc. as well. Please review our Kuali implementation schedule for more information.

Black Americans have been subjected to over 400 years of structural violence and racism. We, the Executive Committee of the Professional Staff Senate, believe everyone is entitled to fair and human treatment from law enforcement and the criminal justice system. Sadly, this has not been the case for the Black community. At UMBC, we will continue to work to make resources available to work through recent events, foster greater understanding, and address these issues to change our society for the better.

As we reflect on this challenging week following the national uprising in response to the recent killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Ahmaud Arbery, and countless other Black Americans, we know you, your colleagues, and friends are experiencing these events in incredibly different ways. To support you in this moment, we wanted to amplify the important work of our colleagues across the campus community who provide support for staff, faculty, and students by sharing some campus resources and offices that are available in these challenging times. We recognize that this is not a comprehensive list and apologize to any who we've missed.

The faculty and staff of UMBC’s Gender, Women’s, and Sexuality Studies (GWST) department want to affirm our support for and solidarity with our Black students, faculty, and staff at UMBC and beyond. Black Lives Matter. Black Women’s Lives Matter. Black Trans Lives Matter. Black Queer Lives Matter. Now and Always.

We also acknowledge that it is not sufficient to say that and go back to business as usual. GWST is committed to doing the hard work of reckoning with institutionalized racism, white privilege, and white supremacy in our own practices, and in the practices of the university.

To this end, we make the following commitments and demand that the university do the same:

We all take an intersectional approach to our research and teaching, addressing the complex intersections of race, gender, sexuality, class, disability, nationality, and other cleaving social differences to understand the operations of power, oppression, and freedom in historical and transnational perspectives. We will deepen this commitment and center the research and contributions of Black scholars in our classes. We must cite Black women scholars, artists, and activists.
UMBC sources many supplies, including university furniture, from Maryland Correctional Enterprises (MCE). We understand that the system of mass incarceration is rooted in the logics of white supremacy and chattel slavery, and that Black and Brown people, including queer and trans people, are incarcerated at incredibly high rates compared to their white peers. MCE claims the program gives incarcerated people job experience and satisfaction, but we understand it as part of the production of a material interest in extending the system of mass incarceration. We demand that UMBC lobby for the repeal of the state requirement to purchase from MCE. This is an important material step to take on the road to ending systems of incarceration for all. We commit to beginning this work at UMBC.
While UMBC has been a forerunner in recruiting and admitting Black, Brown, and other minority students, we push for the increase of admission of Black students. We will continue our commitment to their success at UMBC by working to sustain and expand the necessary tools and resources to succeed during their time here.
We will push the university to invest in hiring and retaining Black faculty members by supporting the Faculty Diversity Postdoctoral Fellowship program and in our own hiring priorities. UMBC faces a hiring freeze, and when it thaws, increasing the number of Black faculty members on campus needs to be an institutional priority. We will make this argument in larger institutional settings and push for real material changes.
It isn’t enough to bring Black and Brown faculty to campus. We must work to address the institutional, organizational, and individual iterations of white supremacy and multiple forms of racism that create hostile and unsustainable climates for BIPOC faculty. Part of our retention plans must commit to the work of anti-racism on the campus as a whole.
We also commit to continuing to push the university to acknowledge, recognize, and value the invisible labor that our Black and Brown faculty, students, and staff do to build and maintain an inclusive culture on campus.
As we anticipate budget cuts resulting from the pandemic we commit to doing our part to ensure those cuts do not fall disproportionately on Black and Brown faculty, staff, and programs.
Many of the staff workers at UMBC are Black or Brown. We commit to working toward fair compensation for staff, both contractual and contracted, by pushing administrators to ensure fair contracts for all workers at UMBC.

These are big goals, but they are feasible goals that we are committed to honoring while working closely with faculty, staff, and students at all levels. We recognize that reckoning with anti-Black racism requires committing to a horizon that marks the world we want as we struggle, learn, and lead together on our way there. We see you, we hear you, we are ready to listen, and we are ready to work.

Signed,

Maria Celleri

Fatih Ersan, Can Ataca

Dr. Ataca’s group predicted a new Pt based two-dimensional monolayer material. Due to the intrinsic dipole moment and band alignments, Janus Platinum chalcogenides are perfect candidates for next generation optoelectronic devices and water splitting reactions.

Phys. Rev. Applied 13, 064008

URL: https://journals.aps.org/prapplied/abstract/10.1103/PhysRevApplied.13.064008

Abstract: We investigate Janus and alloy structures of PtX_nY_2−n (X, Y = S, Se, Te; 0≤n≤2) materials on the basis of first-principles plane-wave simulations. Using cluster-expansion theory to study alloys of PtX_nY_2−n monolayers at various concentrations, for half coverage (n=1), our results indicate that Janus-type structures are not energetically the most favorable for PtXY monolayers; however, they are dynamically and thermally stable. To distinguish Janus PtXY structures, we report the Raman-active modes and compared them with those of bare PtX₂ monolayers. The electronic band gaps calculated with use of hybrid functionals are on par with available experimental data. Spin-orbit coupling significantly modifies the electronic band structure of PtXY monolayers. Because of the electronegativity differences of different chalcogen atoms on each surface of Janus PtXY structures, the arising dipole moment significantly modifies the band alignments on both surfaces. We find that hydrogen-evolution and oxygen-evolution reactions occur on different surfaces and that applied strain enhances the catalytic activity. We also investigate the monovacancy and stacking effects on the electronic properties of PtX₂ and PtXY structures. Our results indicate that due to their intrinsic dipole moments and band gaps, Janus PtXY monolayers are perfect candidates for water-splitting reactions.

In order to facilitate a mandatory PeopleSoft Campus Solutions upgrade, it will be necessary to take down the Campus Solutions, HR and Finance systems. The systems will be down from Friday, June 5, 2020 5:00 pm through Sunday, June 7, 2020 5:00 pm. During that time, you will be unable to retrieve information or perform transactions in the system. We will make every effort to limit down time, and we will inform the Campus should the upgrade activities conclude earlier than anticipated. Other functions and applications in myUMBC will not be affected.

We apologize for the inconvenience.
