Each year, Florida State’s Council on Research and Creativity (CRC) offers summer funding to research projects through the First Year Assistant Professor Program (FYAP). This is a grant program designed to provide first-year assistant professors with “summer salary support to facilitate their research and/or creative activities,” says the website. The grant is available to all active FSU faculty who are in their first year as a full-time Assistant Professor and have not already received funding from the CRC.
This year, five assistant professors in the College of Communication and Information were awarded grants through the FYAP. They include:
Dr. Dale received funding for her project, “Portrayals of hope in the media: Understanding the effects of a media character’s perseverance and ethnicity on audience well-being.”
Dr. Diogo Nunes de Oliveira will use his funding towards an Efficient Risk-Aware Survivability and Restoration Solution for Virtual Network Service Chains.
