Institutes and Centers

Institutes and centers are established within the University to coordinate and support research, service, and training activities that supplement and extend existing departmental and college instruction, research, and service programs.

There are two categories of institutes and centers in Florida public universities:

• State of Florida institutes and centers which must be approved by the FL Board of Governors 
• University institutes and centers 

Procedures for establishing and managing institutes and centers are found in:

• Guidelines for the Formation and Operation of University Institutes and Centers
• Proposal Cover Sheet
• Directory and Financial Information form
