Starting a VIP Team​
​​​​​
The VIP program aims to empower a broad range of faculty members from all campus disciplines to establish and maintain a team of motivated and productive undergraduates engaged in faculty-led research objectives.
​​​​
Each semester, we launch a campus-wide process of proposal facilitation with campus partners, which enables us to expand this program to serve a larger number of UMD faculty members and students.
Support for VIP Faculty Mentors

The VIP program offers support to VIP Faculty Mentors by providing a comprehensive range of resources, including course syllabi, sample assignments, mentorship guidance, and pedagogical best practices for both new and ongoing VIP Teams.
