Each year, the University of Florida Research Foundation (UFRF) selects its new class of UFRF Professors among the best and brightest minds on campus. The three-year professorships were created in 1997 in recognition of faculty who have established a distinguished record of research and scholarship that is expected to lead to continuing distinction in their field.

UFRF Professors are awarded a salary supplement and a small research grant and are chosen based on recommendations from their department chairs and on the merit of their research productivity. UFRF professorships are funded from UF’s share of royalty and licensing on UF-generated products, such as Gatorade. Below is a complete list of current and former UFRF Professors from the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences.
