Make Your Research Come Alive (myRCA) Faculty Collaboratory
Applications are now open for myRCA, a new collaboratory designed for faculty who are committed to advancing and amplifying the visibility, reach, impact, and funding potential of their research, scholarship, and creative activity. The program will bring together a cross-disciplinary cohort of UMBC faculty to: Develop skills in research impact storytelling, visualization, and advocacy to reach stakeholders and the public; Create compelling pitches and broader impact narratives tailored to foundations, corporations, and donors; and Share best practices and learn from each other in a supportive, cross-disciplinary cohort model. The program will include: a kickoff meeting; twice-monthly, 60 to 90-minute sessions for hands-on workshops, trainings, consultations, and events; a mini-retreat; and a final showcase.
