Our strategies to achieve this goal are the following:

Equip Researchers for Success

Contributing the catalytic and strategic support (technical assistance, learning opportunities, and resources) needed for FSU researchers to be successful.  

For Example By: 

• Providing proposal development support (planning, production, proofing, peer review)
• Distributing funding opportunity announcements
• Extending strategic planning and programming, targeting early career faculty 
• Training faculty in how to locate funding
• Offering professional development & research development sessions and information on opportunities, agencies and topics necessary for research success
• Training researchers to be effective mentors to junior faculty and students

 Build Connections

Providing the technical assistance, discovery opportunities, and infrastructure/tools/resources needed to help the research community build valuable research partnerships and networks. 

For Example By: 

• Creating opportunities for peer-to-peer faculty interaction and engagement such as collaborative collision events.
• Conducting team science training to help establish healthy team dynamics
• Elevating the internal awareness of research and creative activities of faculty

Invest in Promising New Ideas and Researchers 

Cultivating in-house funding programs to enable researchers to strategically leverage internal awards to achieve external grants.

For Example By: 

• Overseeing the Collaborative Collison seed funding program for team/project development
• Managing Internal Funding Programs including summer salary support and multidisciplinary instrumentation support

Promote a Culture which Helps Research to Flourish

Fostering an organizational culture that is supportive, proactive, professional, and friendly to nurture a successful research enterprise. 

For Example By: 

• Participating in needs assessment activities and faculty meetings to gauge faculty needs
• Distributing research-related information and providing programs, such as research mentoring training, to meet the diverse needs of the faculty
• Honoring and encouraging outstanding research and creative accomplishments
