Grants

From pre-award to post-award, research and extension is at the heart of UF’s mission. This toolkit organizes resources to support sponsored projects administration.

Review this page to locate web simulations, instruction guides, training, and other resources. Check back often, as this page is frequently updated.

You may notice the navigation in myUFL is different than what is shown in these training resources.  Rest assured, these changes are primarily look and feel differences. All policies and procedures discussed in these materials are accurate and up to date. Training materials will be updated to reflect the new look and menu of myUFL.

Please review the Sponsored Research Training Series (SRTS) section for a full list of courses offered.
