USM Establishes COVID Research & Innovation Task Force
The University System of Maryland is establishing a Research & Innovation Task Force to engage policymakers and entrepreneurs to address the Coronavirus pandemic - “Innovation is what we do. But we can do it bigger, better, and stronger if we do it together,” said EAGB Board Member and USM Chancellor Jay Perman. The task force will consist of USM researchers and will focus on providing resources, preparations for future pandemics and other crises, building awareness of USM’s research and development projects centered on COVID-19, and fostering R&D collaborations within and outside USM.
