Research Space Committee

Research is a key mission of the University of Florida College of Medicine and research space is one of the key resources needed for success.

The Research Space Committee provides overall guidance for space policies and procedures to ensure that space related decision-making is aligned with the College of Medicine guiding principles, mission, and core values. The Research Space Committee consists of Senior Associate Dean of Research and faculty members that encompass basic and clinical research across UF College of Medicine Departments, Centers, and Programs, and administration officials to advise on utilization of space designated for research within the College of Medicine. Members are appointed on a rotating basis for terms of 3 years. The space management process relies on both qualitative and quantitative analyses to provide comprehensive information on space utilization and research activity.
