The Maryland Department of Commerce, Bowie State University and Goucher College have partnered together to endow more than $2 million in new research professorships.
The endowments were made through the Maryland E-Nnovation Initiative Fund (MEIF), a program created to encourage basic and applied research in scientific and technical fields at colleges and universities. The schools raised a total of $1 million in private funding and Maryland Commerce approved matching grants of $1 million to support the endowments.
“The past year has shown us time and time again why innovative thinking and creative new ideas are essential to Maryland’s economic prosperity. We can never be sure what obstacles life will throw in our path,” said Maryland Commerce Secretary Kelly M. Schulz. “By supporting these professorships, Commerce is helping make sure that some of the sharpest minds in Maryland continue their important work.”
