Message From the Vice President

The Division of Research at Florida Atlantic University was established in 2001 to support faculty, student and staff research and sponsored program funding efforts. We encourage, promote and nurture scholarly creativity, and provide an array of services to support research at our University. Among the services we provide include:

Supervising and administering sponsored programs
Facilitating programs to enhance interdisciplinary research
Overseeing and ensuring research compliance with all research-related policies
Translating faculty discoveries into new products, methods and services
Serving as the University's spokesperson and advocate on research issues
Communicating research accomplishments to the University and the community

Research is a cornerstone of FAU's mission and ultimately our faculty and students are the key to our success. Across disciplines, campuses, departments, centers and institutes, they are working on critical societal issues ranging from climate change and conservation, to public health and national security. Through interdisciplinary research and complementary strengths, we are cultivating a research culture that supports innovation and leads to discoveries that will transform society. I look forward to engaging faculty members, students, staff and other members of the FAU community as we transform our University into a leading research institution. We invite you to tour this website and learn more about research at FAU and the services we provide. Sincerely,



Barry T. Rosson, Ph.D.
