EXCELLENT CONDITION!  Always has had a cover/case on and screen saver. Only used on campus or at home. 1T give you so much added storage you'll likely not reach capacity.       

Asking $1,200 Neg within reason. Price based on search for similar laptop (many are ranging $1,300-$1500 but with less than 3GHz or are refurbished). Paid $2,350 new in 2015; I have been the only owner. 

More photos available per request.

Sherman Scholars kicked off the Number Ninjas math summer program at Maree G. Farring Elementary/Middle School in South Baltimore. Nearly 50 students grades 1-5 enrolled in the four-week, full-day program.

The program is directed by Sherman & UMBC Education Alum Atom Zerfas and staffed by two math teachers, six Sherman Scholars, and six Baltimore high school students through YouthWorks. students engaged in small group lessons, blended learning computer programs, restorative circles, and learning stations. In the afternoon, students participated in math-based projects developed by Sherman Scholars.

Subject: From the [business_resource_group-group] Kuali COI Module Implementation

 Dear Colleagues,  

 As part of UMBC’s transitioning from the research management format in PeopleSoft to the cloud-based Kuali system, the Office of the Vice President for Research is ready to implement  the next steps of the Kuali COI module.

 Investigators who are considered “Key Persons” in grant proposal submissions to funding agencies (e.g., PHS or NSF) are required to disclose any potential significant financial conflicts of interests to ensure there is no reasonable perception of a conflict in the design, conduct, or reporting of research.  While the current UMBC policies have not changed; the procedure to disclose has changed.

 What This Means For You? 

 Kuali COI replaces the Office of Research Protections and Compliance (ORPC) paper document/email notification disclosure routing process. This means all COI disclosures will now be handle via the Kuali COI module. Many faculty colleagues have already been using the Kuali COI module during the transition to using Kuali Proposal Development.

 Effective July 9^th 2018, the Kuali COI module will be updated. For those already using Kuali COI, you will see the  COI certification question in Kuali Proposal Development has been eliminated.  All COI related questions are now housed in the Kuali COI module. The Annual Disclosure status under Key personnel in Proposal Development must state “Up to Date”. If the Annual Disclosure says “Update Needed” or “Expired”, the identified Key Personnel must go into the COI module to complete or update their COI answers before the Office of Sponsored Programs (OSP) can approve the proposal.  Kuali will send an automated email notification to any named Key Person once the proposal has been saved in Kuali. At a minimum, all “Key Persons” named on a proposal will be required to answer  5 core COI questions.

The ORPC will work with faculty who have submitted paper COI disclosures for previously submitted proposals (via the PeopleSoft Finance process) to ensure that all disclosures are current and up to date.

Also note, if you plan to submit a proposal to a Public Health Services (PHS) entity [e.g., NIH], the requirement to take the CITI FCOI training is still in effect.

 Next Steps

 Self-Study Option:  Go to COI Training page to read the Kuali COI User Guide - a Power Point presentation that includes step-by-step instructions and screen shots.  This should give you enough information to understand, certify, route, COI disclosures via workflow.

Still not comfortable?  Then sign up for one of the multiple in-person training options that are offered monthly.

 Please keep an eye out for information regarding Phase Two, which will focus on OSP functionality (awards, negotiations, sub-awards), but will also  include information and modules of interest to the broader UMBC community using Kuali (protocols - IRB & IACUC, reporting, unfunded agreements – MTAs, NDAs, DUAs, etc.).  

 For more detailed information regarding Kuali, please visit the OVPR Kuali page at http://research.umbc.edu/kuali-research-at-umbc/.
