Join SRD’s Virtual Lunch & Learn Series tailored specifically for new and early-career faculty embarking on their research journey at the University of Florida.

Each session is designed as a concise 50-minute virtual workshop held during UF Class Period 6, from 12:50 PM to 1:40 PM. These sessions offer practical tools, actionable advice, and institutional connections to accelerate faculty grant readiness. Attendees will also receive helpful handouts or other resources from each session.

This session is the the first of a two-part showcase featuring 3 UF Research Institutes as guest speakers. Learn how these centers serve as interdisciplinary collaboration hubs, provide faculty development resources, and offer internal pilot funding.

Featured Institutes:

Artificial Intelligence and Informatics Research Institute (AIIRI)

Astraeus Space Institute

UF Water Institute
