Grant Overview
Priority Outcomes for Florida's Undergraduate Research Grants Program
The Grants to Support Research Participation by Undergraduate Students program aims to engage a number of students in research projects across Florida. The Florida Department of Education and the state's academic institutions play a crucial role in shaping the outcomes of this program. A key priority outcome is to increase the number of undergraduate students participating in research projects, particularly in STEM fields, where Florida faces a shortage of skilled workers.
Enhancing Research Capacity in Florida's Institutions
To achieve this outcome, the program focuses on enhancing research capacity in Florida's institutions of higher education. This involves providing funding to support research projects, research mentorship, and research infrastructure development. The Florida State University System, for example, has implemented initiatives to promote research excellence and improve research infrastructure across the state. By investing in research capacity, the program aims to create a more robust research ecosystem that benefits students, faculty, and the broader community.
The program's priority outcomes are closely tied to the state's economic development goals, as outlined in the Florida Chamber Foundation's 2020-2030 State Vision and Comprehensive Policy and Budget Recommendations. One of the key drivers of economic growth in Florida is the development of a highly skilled workforce, which is critical for attracting and retaining businesses in the state. By supporting undergraduate research, the program helps to foster a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship, particularly in regions with high concentrations of research institutions, such as the Tampa Bay area and the Research Coast.
Florida's geographic features, including its extensive coastline and diverse ecosystems, provide a unique setting for research projects in fields like marine biology, environmental science, and coastal engineering. The program's focus on research participation by undergraduate students helps to capitalize on these opportunities, while also addressing the state's pressing challenges, such as the impact of climate change on coastal communities.
To measure the success of the program, the Foundation will track key metrics, including the number of students participating in research projects, the number of research projects conducted, and the outcomes of those projects, such as publications, presentations, and patents. The program's evaluation framework will also assess the impact of the grants on the state's research capacity, including the development of research infrastructure and the advancement of research excellence.
In terms of geographic or demographic features that distinguish Florida, the state's large and diverse population, including a significant proportion of Hispanic and African American residents, presents opportunities for research projects that address the needs and experiences of underrepresented groups. The program's focus on research participation by undergraduate students helps to promote diversity and inclusion in research, which is critical for driving innovation and addressing the state's complex challenges.
The Florida Department of Education's Office of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) Education plays a key role in promoting STEM education and workforce development across the state. The program's priority outcomes align with the department's goals, particularly in the areas of improving STEM education and increasing student participation in STEM fields.

Q: How will the success of the Grants to Support Research Participation by Undergraduate Students program be measured in Florida? A: The success of the program will be measured through a combination of metrics, including the number of students participating in research projects, the number of research projects conducted, and the outcomes of those projects.
Q: Are there any specific opportunities or challenges for applicants from rural or underserved areas in Florida? A: Applicants from rural or underserved areas in Florida may be able to leverage the program's focus on research participation by undergraduate students to address specific challenges or opportunities in their regions, such as environmental conservation or economic development.
