Deadline Extended to 8/24: MPower 2021 Seed Grant Challenge
The deadline has been extended to Tuesday, August 24, 12 noon, for faculty to submit a “Notice of Intent to Submit” a proposal in response to the 2021 MPower Seed Grant Challenge. The Notice of Intent is a preliminary registration step in a multi-step process. Once submitted, PIs will receive a web link from me to submit proposals beginning September 8.
Funding of up to $3 million is earmarked for projects in six themes as defined in the attached RFP. The Notice of Intent to Submit requirement is simple: interested teams should send an email to Mpower@umaryland.edu. Within the body of the email, the following three pieces of information are requested: 1. Intended theme (see RFP for list); 2. Lead Principal Investigators’ names – one each from UMB and UMCP; and 3. Working title for the proposal. More details can be found in the RFP.
