FSU Research Development Partners
What is Research Development (RD)? In research development, members of the university community assist faculty and students in their research related efforts.
Not to be confused with what Departmental Representatives or SRA Grants Officers are involved with (assisting with general and agency guidance, as well as submission and administration of grants), RD expands beyond these areas to equip (workshops and resources), connect (collaborative opportunities), and assist (editing, staffing, etc.), to strengthen research efforts including programs and proposals to make them more competitive for extramural funding from governmental, private and non-profit funding agencies.
While Florida State University has a central Research Development unit for faculty under the Vice President for Research, there are other offices with professionals throughout the university serving different constituencies and/or providing essential complementary activities that, as a whole, provide comprehensive services to our university. These include faculty and staff in departments, the Graduate School, FSU Libraries, and many others.
FSU enjoys a productive climate of cooperation and partnership among offices. Those involved in these efforts appreciate the synergy that emerges from working together. The FSU RD Partners Group has been established to further this existing synergism by establishing gatherings to share information and ideas to create more and better opportunities to collaborate and strengthen efforts.
If you are involved with RD-related efforts and would like to join our group or need to find an on-campus RD professional, please contact Beth Hodges to learn more. If you are a faculty member, student, or staff member looking for RD support, please contact folks from our group!
The next meeting of the group will be in May of 2024.
