Institutional Partnership Board (IPB)

The purpose of the IPB is to ensure that the leadership of all UMGCCC’s faculty’s institutions are fully aware of IDEA activities, receive feedback on the impact of the activities, and are engaged with institutional diversity initiatives for the purposes of fulfilling NCI’s Plan to Enhance Diversity as outlined in FOA PAR-21-321 and NOT-OD-20-031.  Members are IDEA program leaders at UMB and its schools, UMMS, and universities within the USM where UMGCCC derives its membership. Membership is also extended to leaders of Maryland Community Colleges and other institutions within UMGCCC’s catchment area that conduct cancer research and associate with UMGCCC.  

The IPB is an important resource for dissemination of UMGCCC’s IDEA program and activities and engagement of UMGCCC’s partner institutions. Through the IPB, UMGCCC’s IDEA Office disseminates information about its programs and activities to UMGCCC’s partner institutions. The IDEA Office receives information from these institutions about their diversity initiatives and opportunities to collaborate with them.  The IDEA Office collects, analyzes, and disseminates partner institutions’ IDEA-related information to all UMGCCC members.
