The UMD Division of Research manages an existing Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) and associated Inter-Institutional Agreement No. 526866. The MOU, signed by the Vice President of Research in February 2016, created a joint appointment program between the two entities, intended to attract, retain and recognize scientists and engineers with rising national stature and reputation at all levels, and therefore, will most likely enhance the ability of the parties to achieve their respective research missions.
