Dear School of Medicine Community,
I want to start by thanking everyone for attending the 2024 State of the School Address – almost 800 of you showed up in person and online, and it was great to see so many faculty, students, staff, leaders, partners, board members, and friends together in the same space. We even had special guests from our presentation join us, including Baltimore City Councilwoman Phylicia Porter. If you missed it, I encourage you to watch online here. Thanks for all your hard work over the past year – our success as an institution is because of YOU and I look forward to working together to achieve even greater results next year!
One of the new initiatives I talked about in the State of the School was the research incentive program, designed to encourage faculty to grow the School of Medicine’s portfolio of extramural funding. I want to thank everyone for their hard work in developing and implementing the program and President Jarrell and his UMB leadership team for their support of this new School of Medicine program. I sent an earlier message to all faculty with more details, so check your inboxes if you haven’t seen it yet and review the detailed policy document and FAQs here.
