At FSU, we take great pride in our ability to provide supportive environments for the exploration of all types of ideas; and with approximately $414 million in research expenditures each year, and more than 50 prominent research centers and institutes calling our campuses home, FSU continues to be one of the top idea-incubators in the nation.
