Designated as a Carnegie R1: Doctoral Universities – Very high research activity
FIU reached over $1 billion in research expenditures in the last five years and has received more than $400 million in external funding since 2010.
The Florida Board of Governors named FIU a Preeminent State Research University for its top national performance in research productivity and student success.
Fulfillment of the benchmarks established in our Five-Year Preeminence Plan has made FIU the fourth and youngest university in Florida to achieve this elite status.
This was only made possible due to the tireless innovation of our university’s internationally renowned researchers and faculty, who have generated over 55 utility patents and over $300M in research expenditures this past year alone.
As one of the leading public flagship research universities in the world, the mission of the Faculty Success team is to recruit, retain and support an extraordinary faculty community.
In the coming months, the university community will come together to define the vision for the future of FIU through the development of the FIU 2030 Strategic Plan. You’re encouraged to share your thoughts, feedback, perspective and ideas through listening and visioning sessions.
