Does the Florida Research Consortium fund research, companies or organizations?
The Florida Research Consortium does not directly fund research. The FRC seeks long term investment in research infrastructure, generally in the form of facilities, equipment and world class talent. To date universities through their research foundations, private foundations and the Florida Legislature have funded these investments through appropriations to the Major Gifts Trust Fund, the Alec P. Courtelis Facilities Enhancement Challenge Grant Program, the Eminent Scholars Trust Fund or more recently, the Centers of Excellence Program. The FRC does not fund companies or other organizations.
