About
Florida Alliance organizes this conference for people who work in research development and research administration at institutions around the state.

It is held at NSU in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
Research development and administration professionals across Florida attend.
It is most useful for research development and administration staff at Florida universities and institutes, since the program centres on the RD+ theme and the audience is Florida research development professionals at the Alliance's 10th anniversary meeting. Researchers looking for a national funding or sponsor-facing event, or administrators based outside Florida, will get less from it, as it is a regional association meeting hosted at Nova Southeastern University.
Attendees at university research administration conferences usually wear business casual, with slacks, blouses or button-down shirts and a light jacket for air-conditioned rooms. Fort Lauderdale in late October is warm, so breathable fabrics suit the setting.
Research development and administration professionals across Florida are the sourced audience description.
