Announcing the latest grants from the Hrabowski Fund for Innovation
We are proud to announce the projects awarded grants in the spring 2015 round of the Hrabowski Fund for Innovation competition.
ADAPTATION AWARDS
Explore Baltimore Heritage: A Partnership Between Baltimore Heritage and UMBC – A team led by Denise Meringolo, Associate Professor of History, will expand UMBC’s partnership with Baltimore Heritage through supporting the organization’s goals of developing educational material, while also deepening UMBC students’ learning experience and professional development. Specifically, this collaboration will grant students in the History program the opportunity to build meaningful historical content for Explore Baltimore Heritage, a mobile app that lets people build self-guided tours of the many unique historic places of Baltimore and its neighborhoods.
IMPLEMENTATION AND RESEARCH GRANT
Learning and Innovation at the Interface of Mathematics and Medicine: A NEW Approach – A team led by Bradford Peercy, Associate Professor of Mathematics and Statistics, has proposed the Neuromathematical Experience Workgroup (NEW), a new approach to training students on the interface of mathematics and neurosciences that focuses on interdisciplinary, team-based experiences. The fundamental change in the nature of biological research toward quantitative sciences has identified a need for collaboration with biology and mathematics and statistics. Through the new project both undergraduate and graduate students will develop core skills and tools required in mathematics and neuroscience to form a common foundation that will prepare them for future careers in neuroscience and as research and teaching faculty.
NEXT at UMBC: Researching Connections Between Applied Learning, Affective Learning, and Student Success – A team led by Hannah Schmitz, Applied Learning Program Coordinator for the Shriver Center, is developing a program to investigate the interconnection between applied learning and student affective development. This analysis will set us on a path to generating metrics to help assess the contribution of applied learning experiences, such as internships, research, study abroad, and service-learning to our students’ academic, social, professional, and civic development.
SEED GRANT
Connections: A Transfer Student Experience Course – A team led by Diane Alonso, Director of Psychology at Shady Grove, will create a transfer student experience course that uses the principles of Interprofessional Education (IPE) to bring students from different disciplines together in a technology-rich active learning environment and challenge them to think beyond their physical and mental boundaries. This innovative course is based on our First-Year Experience program and will be integral in helping transfer students at UMBC at Shady Grove learn and grow as students and professionals.
Proposals for the next round of Innovation Fund grants are due by October 16, 2015. Please consider submitting an application. For more information about the fund, visit innovationfund.umbc.edu.
The Hrabowski Fund for Innovation, developed with support of major grants from the Carnegie Corporation of New York and the Heinz Awards, is a testament to our strong track record of finding novel approaches to teaching and scholarship.

Faculty, staff, and students can now print from their own devices using
Pharos Mobile Printing. Previously, in order to print an image or document, users would have to log on into a computer, pull up their file, and then go to a print release station. With Pharos, users can print from a multitude of supported devices, including Mac, Windows, iOS, and Android. Funds for Pharos printing comes straight from your
Campus Card Account.
For
Mac and Windows users, you can access Pharos by going to mobileprint.umbc.edu From there, simply login using your UMBC credentials and you will be brought to the Pharos mobile printing interface.
Now you can upload your files, preview your print jobs, and even customize color pages and choose double or single sided pages. After that, just go to any Pharos station in the Library or in the Engineering building and swipe your Campus ID Card at the printer to print the files you have uploaded.
On
iOS, users can follow the same steps as the Mac and Windows version by going to mobileprint.umbc.edu on their iOS device. Users can also visit the App store and download the Pharos Print app.
After downloading, launch the app and type in mobileprint.umbc.edu for the "Server Address" and 443 for "Server Port" and press "Connect". Then, type your UMBC credentials and log in. Wherever your file is located, you will need to select the “Open In” function and then select “Open in Pharos Print” which will open a window with details on the file and print options. The "Open In" function can be found in several apps, including Google Drive, Box, and Safari.
The Pharos Mobile Print app is still in development for
Android and will be released sometime in 2015. Users can still print using their Android devices by opening Google Chrome by tapping the three vertical dots icon on the top right-hand corner of the screen to bring up “Request desktop site”. From there, go to mobileprint.umbc.edu and follow the same steps listed for Mac and Windows users.

UMBC partners in Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology
$20mil NSF grant goes to UW-Madison, UMBC and collaborators
UMBC has joined the
Center for Sustainable Nanotechnology (CSN) as a primary collaborator on groundbreaking research exploring how modern nanomaterials interact with the environment and living organisms. The center seeks to “use fundamental chemistry to enable the development of nanotechnology in a sustainable manner, for societal benefit.”
Supported through $20 million in National Science Foundation (NSF) funding over the next five years and based at the University of Wisconsin-Madison,
the CSN includes 13 innovative faculty from research institutions across the United States. Zeev Rosenzweig, professor and chair of chemistry and biochemistry, is leading UMBC’s participation in the center.
Nanotechnology involves the use of materials at the smallest scale, including the manipulation of individual atoms and molecules. Products that use nanoscale materials range from beer bottles and car wax to solar cells and electric and hybrid car batteries. If you read books on a Kindle, quantum dots, a semiconducting material manufactured at the nanoscale, underpin the high-resolution screen.
There are hundreds of products that use nanomaterials in various ways, but there are still many concerning unknowns when it comes to how tiny particles interact with biological systems.
“This research center will greatly impact society by preparing next generation nanomaterials that retain high function, while being safer for human health and the environment,” Rosenzweig explains.
UMBC participation in the CSN will also provide UMBC graduate and undergraduate students with invaluable opportunities to collaborate with world leaders in the field, and to make significant scientific contributions of great social importance to the field of nanoscience and nanotechnology. In addition to UMBC and UW-Madison, participating institutions include Johns Hopkins University, UW-Milwaukee, the University of Minnesota, the University of Illinois, Northwestern University, the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory, Tuskegee University, the University of Iowa, Augsburg College, and Georgia Tech.
CSN funding is provided by the NSF Division of Chemistry through the Centers for Chemical Innovation Program (CHE-1240151).

Exhibition: Cross-Pollinated Hybrid Art Abuzz
Dr. Saper's documentation: Puppets for the Birds
Cross-Pollinated Hybrid Art Abuzz
Exhibition at Towson University
This exhibition addresses cross-pollination in the arts through metaphor with an emphasis on digital and kinetic media linked to processes found in the natural world. Ideas from one field germinate and take root in another. Interdisciplinary artists fly between a variety of media, and boundaries break down. The artists featured in this exhibition are agents of change, often carrying seeds of inspiration from one art form to another and from the field of science to that of the visual arts.
Artists included in this exhibition are regional national, and international: Nicky Assmann; Rebecca Black and Bill Tomlinson; Lee Boot; Elizabeth Demaray with Ahmed Elgammal, Qingze Zou and Simeon Kotchoni; Juan Fontanive, Billy Friebele, Kelly Gallagher, Ariana Gerstein; Clarissa Gregory; Ruth Hayes; Amy Hicks, Dennis Hlynsky; Douglas Hudson; Gina Kamenstky; Alison Reiko Loader and Christopher Plenzich; Monteith McCollum; Brandon Morse; Patuxtent Wildlife Research Center, Allison Schulnik; and Nadav Wiessman. Curated by Lynn Tomlinson.
Dr. Craig Saper documented (with video and photographs) a group's art-for-science-research work in this exhibit. His documentation is called Puppets For The Birds … and concerns Whooping Crane training.
Location: Center for the Arts Gallery, Center for the Arts - Towson University.
On View: Friday, September 11 - Saturday December 12, 2015
Closed for Thanksgiving Break (November 25-29)
Opening Reception: Thursday, September 10, 7:30-9:00 p.m.
