Research Council

Research Council

Florida Tech’s Research Council was established to foster research excellence and growth of Florida Tech’s research programs, including expanding the breadth of researchers with active research programs and increasing the depth of current and emerging research programs.  Each year the faculty committee, with administrative support provided by the Office of Sponsored Research, strives to achieve this by reviewing and recommending operations and strategic activities to include areas of policy, new initiatives, and programs for continuous improvement and growth in the research environment at Florida Tech. The Research Council is also a mechanism for increasing communication between administrators, faculty, researchers, and staff to evolve our research roadmaps with the intent of increasing research funding and notoriety.
