About the Faculty Research Grant Program
All UMUC stateside and international faculty, in both teaching and administrative roles, were invited to submit proposals for a research grant through the UMUC Faculty Research Grant Program. There were 63 research proposals submitted worldwide by UMUC full-time and part-time faculty. Proposals were reviewed by a Selection Committee chaired by the Orkand Endowed Chair in Management and Technology and comprised of the deans and key faculty. The Faculty Research Grant Program awards research stipends of $4,000 for a single PI for a semester-long research project and $5,000 for co-PIs (to be split evenly among the PIs).
