ORD's Mission is to "Strengthen Research Competitiveness"
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)
- 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 funding opportunity announcements and other 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
