Grants are increasingly critical in supporting research initiatives and a priority at Florida State University. University Libraries are actively involved in fulfilling these emerging needs as partners to faculty and departments across campus.
Our Grant & Research Support
Our research community uses resources provided by the Libraries throughout the research lifecycle as physical and online resources are made available and easily discoverable through the Libraries. Furthermore, our support for grant research spans beyond our collections as we collaborate to provide key research expertise and infrastructure allowing researchers to share, measure, and preserve the products of their research. Learn more about our research grant support services, from data management to systematic reviews, on Research & Publish.
