Six faculty from the School of Communication, School of Information and the School of Communication & Science Disorders have been awarded for their fieldwork and experimental efforts through the Council on Research and Creativity (CRC) at the FSU Office of Research.

The purpose of the First Year Assistant Professor Awards (FYAP) summer program is to provide first-year assistant professors with summer salary support to facilitate their research and/or creative activities, including efforts to obtain external funding for their work. The CRC seeks FYAP proposals that clearly indicate a planned effort to establish an on-going program of research or creative activity at FSU.

Five of the six awarded faculty were recognized by the FYAP grant.
