What We Do

Innovation to Impact

Our goal, at the RDI, is to remove barriers to large-scale, interdisciplinary research and accelerate teams’ pathway to discovery, innovation, and impact across a variety of disciplines, sectors, and communities. We bridge the gap between research and real-world applications by connecting teams with USF’s robust Innovation Ecosystem, including collaborations with USF CONNECT, the Florida High Tech Corridor, and Tech Transfer. We support access to internal funding and facilitate connections with government, industry, and community partners, empowering research teams to achieve meaningful broader impacts through innovative solutions.
