Mission: To support research and scholarship for graduate education, postdoctoral training, and early career faculty.

 

About

Launched in Fall 2025, the MPower Early Scholars Investment Fund is a forward-looking investment designed to protect and strengthen the next generation of researchers. This program provides targeted support for both UMB and UMCP PhD students, post-docs, and junior faculty impacted by recent cuts to research funding. In addition, this short-term, high-impact initiative is designed to sustain the scholar pipeline and protect the University of Maryland’s joint research enterprise.
