One-on-one meetings/consultations are offered to all first year assistant professors. 

During these sessions, we learn about your research and discuss resources and strategies to provide a research road-map to take you from your first semester on campus to tenure.

Purpose is to provide:

  • Coaching through needed next steps, assessing need and planning goals
  • Accountability and structure
  • Guidance towards grant activities and university resources

We'll provide you with navigational tools across the offices within the FSU Office of Research, grant writing resources, information on research networking events and faculty workshops, and a reflection tool for your research development plan towards grantsmanship, discussing your needs and goals with follow-up support offered. 

ORD reaches out to all assistant professors in their first year to offer this opportunity and provide information about ORD. 

As part of this program, you can choose to meet once, twice, or even every 4-6 weeks during your first year on campus. If your first year is not the best time for you to participate in this program, reach out during another Fall semester that's more appropriate for you. If you have not been contacted and would like to participate in the program, please contact Rachel Goff-Albritton to schedule your first meeting.

If you've already met with someone from the RD team, please complete our brief survey to provide feedback on your experience.
