Page 3 - Dare to Make an Impact

Dear Faculty,
Welcome to Florida Atlantic University. We applaud your decision to pursue an academic career and share your enthusiasm that great things can arise out of research and creative scholarship.
We recognize that your lives as faculty are busy. You juggle teaching, mentoring, service and research and often wonder how to accomplish it all.
We also recognize that it can be confusing and intimidating to navigate and understand all of the different administrative processes that are required of you as a researcher. The
Office of Research Development is here to help. We help faculty find research funding, build university-wide teams and strengthen grant proposals, as well as navigate
the complexity of grant administration.
Please know that we are here to support you. We want you
to succeed. As part of our commitment to your growth as a researcher, we hope you will enjoy this book on how to launch (or reactivate) your research career at FAU. Within the book, you will find the best practices from knowledgeable sources like researchers, program officials and administrators, to help position you for tenure, grant awards and a tremendous sense of accomplishment in your research career. We look forward to working with you!
– The FAU Research Development Team
