USF Provost Collaborative Research Excellence and Translational Efforts (CREATE) Award

Global challenges represent extraordinarily complex problems that require multidisciplinary experts to provide dynamic and highly innovative solutions on moderate time horizons. USF has the broad intellectual capital necessary for the development of innovative, feasible solutions. The goal of CREATE seed funding is to mobilize multidisciplinary teams for large, collaborative efforts targeting transformative research that will lead to societal impact. 

To apply for the award, research plans should -

• Encourage and facilitate a multidisciplinary and collaborative research culture at the university.
• Increase interaction among colleges by having investigators from at least three USF colleges in each of the proposal teams.
• Support researchers to lead bold, long-term, large-scale research initiatives that can leverage the seed funds to establish financially sustainable research centers, institutes, and initiatives.

This online series typically takes place once a month during the standard academic year and is open to all faculty, staff, and students at USF. Accessibility Insights meetings typically allow 30-60 minutes for a guest speaker to talk about their experiences with the topic and the remaining time is open for questions and discussion.

International Education Month is the University of South Florida's version of International Education Week, which is a joint initiative between the U.S. Department of Education and U.S. Department of State. Each year, USF World hosts a full month of events - instead of just one week - to recognize the university's global connections across its campuses, colleges, and departments. International Education Month (IEM) 2023 will take place during the month of November.

USFRI Internal Awards Program

Recent evaluations of the research enterprise at USF have highlighted the critical need to increase support, modernize infrastructure, and improve the efficiency of operations. In response to these critical reviews, the USF Research Council has revamped the USFRI Internal Awards program to enhance growth and productivity throughout the USF research community.

The Conference Support Grant remains (renamed to Conference Planning Grant), in addition to three new grants that have been created.
