Welcome to the first issue of RDinsights, a quarterly newsletter from the USF Research Development Institute (RDI). This newsletter will be one channel through which the RDI communicates updates from the Institute, funding opportunities and other resources to enhance research success. | |
The Research Development Institute: A Bold, New Initiative | |
The USF Research Development Institute, in complement to the important administrative support of colleges, aims to be a guide for teams looking to navigate the complex landscape of large-scale funding. We work closely with faculty throughout the entirety of this “research development” process—from “bold idea” generation to post-submission support—as well as across their careers to prepare and pursue these transformative, large-scale grant opportunities.
| |
|
Our aim is to maximize research productivity, offering a concierge service for grant seekers including grant writing, editing, and graphic support, and assist in communicating the significant and compelling impact of their research.
