FLORIDA ATLANTIC UNIVERSITY
STATE AND UNIVERSITY CENTERS & INSTITUTES
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Recent changes being implemented by the State of Florida in regards to how University Centers and Institutes will be governed suggest that it is appropriate to hold off on the establishment of new centers/institutes at this time. Once it becomes clear what changes to the current policy will be implemented, the Division of Research will resume accepting applications for the University Research Committee to consider. In brief, the Board of Governors is restructuring institute/center governance and devolving it in most cases to the universities. To comply with the new structure, FAU will need to develop policy internally, and this process has begun. Updates will be posted here.

________________________________________________
Institutes and centers are established to carry out research, service and instructional activities which supplement and extend programs of instruction and research offered by Florida Atlantic University. FAU’s state centers and institutes typically have a state-wide mission, include two or more state universities, have been approved by the Florida Board of Governors and have an advisory board with membership. FAU’s University centers and institutes follow the same protocols as state centers but do not necessarily carry out a state-wide mission and are self-supporting.
