Dean’s Research Seminar Series
The Office of Research encourages all college departments to participate in the monthly Dean’s Research Seminar Series. The Office of Research will provide up to $2,000 in funding to assist with a speaker’s honorarium ($750) and travel expenses ($1250). For more information, or to schedule a speaker, please contact the Office of Research at 352-294-5440.
Requesting a Speaker
All UFCD Faculty, Students and Staff are eligible to nominate a speaker. Requests for speaker approval should be submitted to Denise Webb in the Office of Research with a letter that addresses each of the required criteria below and also includes the following information and attachment(s):
• The scientific expertise of the speaker and relevance to programs at the College of Dentistry
• Proposed title for the seminar
• Brief description of the topics to be covered
• Brief description of the target audience
• Proposed date for the seminar
• A current CV for the speaker
The request will be forwarded to the UFCD Research Committee for review and approval, although in some cases approval may be granted by the Associate Dean for Research without review. No more than two speakers will be scheduled in one month. No more than two speakers will be approved for a given faculty member sponsor in a one year period.
Selection Criteria
• The speaker should be nationally or internationally recognized for their research achievements.
• The speaker and topic should enhance the UFCD research mission and be of interest to a substantial audience. Interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary topics that may attract a diverse audience are strongly encouraged.
• Overlap or redundancy with recent speakers supported by this mechanism will be considered in the evaluation of requests, as will the commitment of matching funds from centers or departments.
Continuing Education
As part of the UFCD mission of service to the dental community, we are able to offer continuing dental education credit, at no charge, to both the speaker and the attendees of the Dean’s Research Seminar Series. To comply with ADA CERP guidelines for issuing Continuing Dental Education credit, approved speakers must supply the following information in addition to the items identified in the previous section:
