INSTITUTES & RESEARCH CENTERS

Introduction

Institutes and Research Centers are entities proposed by universities, the Legislature, or the Florida Board of Education (FBOE); approved by the Board of Governors (BOG) and/or the Chancellor or a university president (depending on the type of institute/center); and established by the universities for the purpose of coordinating intra- and/or inter-institutional research, service, and training activities that supplement and extend existing departmental instruction, research, and service programs. In some instances, institutes/centers are established by law, in which case they operate in accordance not only with State University System policies, rules, and procedures, but also with state statutes. FSU’s institutes and centers, along with their directors, are listed below. This list is accurate as of April 2026.
