Designating NanoCenter URC (University Research Center) on ORAA Proposal Routing

What is a UMD URC?
The university's Office of the Vice President of Research has designated the Maryland NanoCenter as one of the first University Research Centers (URC) on campus.

The URC program was created in 2006 to encourage the growth of major research centers on campus, providing support for the development of large center proposals and supplemental ongoing support for centers established as identified as URCs.

For UMD Faculty and Researchers
If your research falls under the NanoCenter domain, you should indicate so on the Internal Routing Form for Proposals.
