Fellows Program at Florida Research Institute

The Florida Research Institute's Fellows Program is a unique virtual network of independent researchers who conduct research on a wide variety of topics in the areas of education, health, environment and the economy. Unlike most Institute Fellows programs, FRI Fellows are not employees. Rather, they reside all over the US, work from their home or other offices, and utilize electronic means to stay in frequent communication with FRI management and staff. FRI Fellows are experienced social and behavioral science researchers whose employing organizations do not have sponsored research departments or whose employment status does not support sponsored research projects. These individuals include retired faculty, adjunct and/or visiting faculty, new MA/MS or PhD graduates who have not yet secured full-time employment, independent researchers and consultants, as well as analysts and other professionals. These professionals pursue individual research interests and multidisciplinary team research projects. FRI provides grant administration and oversight, office space if needed, and comprehensive data collection support.

Fellows can receive up to $1,000 in seed funding from FRI to help them develop and submit a research proposal to a government, foundation or other funding source. FRI also assists Fellows with proposal development, proposal submission and research design.
