Welcome from the Director
Dear Faculty,
As we begin a new academic year, I want to extend a heartfelt welcome on behalf of Research Development at Florida State University. We are excited to support you in your research endeavors and are committed to helping you navigate opportunities, overcome challenges, and achieve meaningful impact through your work. Whether you're launching a new project, seeking funding, or building collaborations, our team is here to assist you every step of the way. Wishing you a productive, inspiring, and successful year ahead!
Warm regards,
Beth Hodges, Director, Research Development
Many thanks to all who joined us at events,
shared our resources, worked with our team, and contributed to FSU's innovative and creative successes over the last year!
Service Spotlight: Research Interest Groups
The FSU Research Development team is offering a new service to faculty researchers who would like to form a Research Interest Group (RIG) around a topic of broad interest to the FSU community.
These RIGs are faculty-driven and allow for university-wide networking on shared research interests. Each RIG’s goals, meeting format and frequency, and eventual outcomes are entirely determined by the members. We help facilitate these groups to provide a platform to develop new collaborations and eventual interdisciplinary research projects.
Services can include:
- Facilitating regular interest group meetings
- Building a Microsoft Teams site to provide online collaboration space
- Disseminating relevant news and/or funding opportunities
While some groups have already been formed, we invite faculty to suggest additional topic areas that they would like to champion. If you are interested in forming a new group, please contact Beth Hodges.
