UMD Graduate Students in Science and Engineering

Talk to UMD faculty members to identify possible collaborative projects and NIH co-mentors. The annual symposium is a good venue to learn about seed projects and find possible collaborators.

UMD Faculty Members in Science and Engineering & NIH Investigators

The partnership leadership team will be happy to help make connections with possible collaborators at the partner institution. The annual symposium has proven a successful venue for establishment of new collaborations.

Starting a Collaborative Project

Partnership participants receive administrative support, and the opportunity to present a poster/talk at an annual symposium. Collaborative projects start through:   

• an NCI-UMD Partnership Seed Award
• direct funding by NIH investigators or UMD research grants. If you have a funded collaborative project you wish to include in the partnership, please contact the Program Administrator [link] with the names of the UMD and NIH mentor, the student CV, graduate program name, and a brief abstract of the project.

Making a Donation
