University of Florida Graduate School
The Office of Research provides funds for the Grinter Fellowship
program. These fellowships are part of funding packages awarded
by academic units to support recruitment of outstanding new
graduate students. The Office of Research also supports individual
graduate students by offering competitive travel grants and other
types of awards. See details for the various programs at
http://www.research.ufl.edu/researchsupport/internal_support.html.
This office also provides an important centralized location for other
internal and external funding opportunities by offering a host of
resources at http://www.research.ufl.edu/researchsupport/.
The University of Florida established the University of Florida
Research Foundation, Inc. (UFRF), a direct support organization, in
June 1986 to promote, encourage and provide assistance to the
research activities of the University faculty, staff and students.
Incorporated by the State of Florida in August 1986, the not-forprofit
organization provides a means by which research can be
conducted flexibly and efficiently and by which discoveries,
inventions, processes and work products of University of Florida
faculty, staff and students can be transferred from the laboratory to
the public. Funds generated by licensing such discoveries are used
to enhance research at the University of Florida.
The Office of Technology Licensing (OTL) handles patenting,
marketing, and licensing of intellectual property. The OTL works
closely with UF inventors in identifying and protecting new
inventions. All patents, copyrights, and trademarks are processed
and managed by OTL. The OTL helps researchers develop
confidentiality, mutual secrecy, and material transfer agreements.

University Press of Florida
The University Press of Florida is the official scholarly publishing
agency of the State University System of Florida. The Press (just off
campus, at 15 NW 15th Street) reports to the President of the
University, who supervises the Press on behalf of the 11 state
universities. The statewide Council of Presidents is the governing
board for the Press.
An advisory board, consisting of representatives from each of the
11 state universities, determines whether manuscripts submitted to
it reflect appropriate academic, scholarly, and programmatic
standards of the Press.
