Faculty development is an important area in our quest for excellence. Mentoring from senior faculty members plays a primary role in the success of the tenure-track faculty. Other faculty resources are available such as the Faculty Senate, promotion and tenure guidelines, Teaching Incentive Program, and sabbatical leave information.

Research Inventive Awards Program

UCF RIA are available to faculty in the College of Arts and Humanities, College of Business Administration, College of Education, College of Engineering and Computer Science, College of Health and Public Affairs, College of Optics and Photonics, College of Nursing, College of Sciences, Rosen College of Hospitality Management, and Institutes and Centers. Additional awards are also available at-large (as detailed later) for all faculty and research staff, including those not in a college, institute, or center. For 2008-2009, there are 20 new RIA awards available. If any recipient of a college or I&C Research Incentive Award leaves University employment, that award will remain within the college or will revert to the Vice President for Research (I&C awards) for "recycling" as additional UCF Research Incentive Awards for the following academic year. The Office of Academic Affairs provides the funding for these awards and the specifics of the RIA program were developed through consultation between the Office of Academic Affairs and the Faculty Senate Steering Committee.
