Research Opportunity Seed Fund
The ROSF’s mission is to promote pathbreaking interdisciplinary research and new collaborations between scholars. To encourage this, all proposals must have at least two investigators from different colleges or centers and the strength of the interdisciplinary element of proposal is a important factor in conferring the award.
Colleges across UF engage in their own internal down selection process in the autumn of each year before the finalists move forward to the University-wide competition. If you and another scholar are interested in pursuing the ROSF, please reach out to you Associate Dean for Research about the deadlines and materials for beginning the process.
