The strategic plan sets forth a vision of the University as an institution unmatched in its capacity to attract talent, address the most important issues of our time, and produce the leaders of tomorrow. An important aspect of this is the development and advancement of research and innovation.
Submitting proposals, conducting research, and administrating sponsored projects involves many different people and units throughout the University of Maryland campus. While there may be some minor variations in processes from department to department and college to college, this page outlines the general process and identifies the appropriate party that has primary responsibility for different activities throughout the life cycle of a sponsored award.
Search existing intellectual property held by the University of Maryland to find others working on similar research or to identify areas where further research is warranted. Use this information to assess the merit of your research idea.
Subject Specialist Librarians can help by providing one-on-one research assistance, purchasing materials (including data) in your discipline, answering questions about publishing and copyright issues, and identifying gaps in the literature when you're planning a research project, and navigating library resources. Visit the Meet Your Librarian page to find out more about your librarian and request an appointment.
The Research Commons brings together library services and spaces for faculty, graduate students, and researchers. The RC will connect you with the resources you need, by putting you in touch with your subject specialist librarian and also through research workshops, statistical consulting, and events featuring campus researchers.
Citation managers (e.g. EndNote Web, Zotero, etc.) help researchers keep track of their references for dissertations, journal articles, or any other writing needs. The software also facilitates the downloading of citations and content directly from online databases. The tools help researchers create citations and bibliographies, then easily format them in a wide variety of styles.
The Division of Research has organized university projects and centers into several key areas and themes to assist researchers in identifying work being done in those areas.
The National Foreign Language Center (NFLC) is dedicated to promoting a language-competent society by developing and disseminating information that informs policy makers. The mission of the NFLC is to improve the capacity of the U.S. to communicate in languages other than English. We implement that mission through intensive and innovative strategic planning and development with globalized institutions, organizations, and enterprises throughout the United States.
The mission of the Language Science Center is to advance language science at the University of Maryland and beyond, through integrated research and training that links fundamental science with applications in education, technology, and health.
The mission of IREAP is to advance modern science through research and educational programs that are interdisciplinary between physical science and engineering.
Performs major experimental and theoretical research programs that are dedicated to the goals of controlling and exploiting quantum systems.
The Joint Space-Science Institute is a research partnership between the Astronomy and Physics departments at University of Maryland (UMD) and NASA Goddard Space Flight Center. It was created in 2010 to foster interdisciplinary collaborations between astronomers, physicist and astrophysicists in fields related to the study of strong gravity in black holes, high-energy astrophysics and astroparticle physics, cosmology and gravitational waves.
The Center for American Politics and Citizenship (CAPC) addresses major issues of governance today and trains future leaders to grapple with the pressing issues of tomorrow. CAPC provides research, education, and outreach to promote an informed and engaged public and more effective and responsive government.
MC2 partners with government and industry to provide educational programs to prepare the future cybersecurity workforce, and develop new, innovative technologies to defend against cybersecurity attacks.
Partnership with The MITRE Corporation solely dedicated to enhancing cybersecurity and protecting national information systems.
A university-based research center committed to the scientific study of the causes and human consequences of terrorism in the United States and around the world.
Works to continue integration of the leading edge business practices and technologies of the real-time supply chain into the undergraduate and graduate programs in Supply Chain Management at the Smith School.
The University of Maryland is taking a unique, proactive approach to overcoming barriers to enhancing international partnerships by dedicating valuable resources to streamlining administrative functions. These efforts are intended to facilitate research collaborations by reducing administrative obstacles for researchers and strengthening our position as a top tier global research institution by encouraging joint proposal endeavors, research administration, and researcher exchange programs. The Division of Research developed an administrative training program titled Borderless Research Administration Knowledge Exchange (BRAKE) that focuses on engaging international institutions as strategic cohorts concentrated on building expertise in the management and oversight of U.S. federal funding.
