Meet Paul Panozzo
INDS Fall 2025 Graduate Highlight Series
Paul- B.S. INDS
Minors, Certificates, and/or Honors
Time constraints and I liked the two subjects that are my main pillars.
List any UMBC faculty or staff you would like to highlight:
What are your plans for after graduation and how do you see yourself using your INDS degree?
Hopefully seek full time employment with something like business analysis as that is a good place that makes use of both aspects of my degree.

Rachel Brubaker, CARAT Associate Director for Research Development. Consult with your department chair or program director before beginning any funding application. External grant and fellowship applications must be routed for university approval in either UMBC's Kuali system or through the CAHSS internal routing form before submission. Plan additional time (5-7 business days) for routing.
CARAT (Creative Achievement and Research Administration Team) assists CAHSS faculty with research development and pre- and post-award services. CARAT offers a range of support activities for faculty seeking extramural funding, including drop-in sessions, individual consultations, workshops, and co-sponsored sessions. Check our
website and
myUMBC group for upcoming activities.
To request a consultation or to begin a proposal, visit our
pre-award assistance webpage (you must be logged-in to myUMBC to complete CARAT request forms). The lead time for fellowship proposal development is 2-3 business weeks, and at minimum 4 business weeks for grant proposal development. CARAT reserves the right to decline proposal requests that do not include adequate lead time.
PI Eligibility: UMBC uses Kuali, a cloud-based research administration tool, for proposals and awards. UMBC faculty identified as a Principal Investigator (PI) or Co-Investigator on any proposal or award must first
obtain PI eligibility in order to develop proposals and receive awards at UMBC. This includes faculty with appointments after August 1, 2012, as well as faculty who have not previously applied for external funding. The process involves completing the Principal Investigator Research Administration Training and Education (PIRATE) in Blackboard and a PI Eligibility request form via DocuSign. PI applicants must also obtain PeopleSoft Finance and PAW Access.
