This document is part of an ongoing and evolving activity by The University of Florida's Institute of Food and Agricultural Sciences to provide accountability information to the pubic for the expenditure of funds and to report the results of teaching, research and extension programs. The intent is to go beyond measures which ensure that public funds are expended in accordance with state law and generally accepted accounting principles and to provide programmatic accountability at the state and federal level and with specific legislation in Florida which requires measurement of productivity in university teaching programs This report will be published annually and will be expanded in future years as additional data become available. In addition, the report provides examples of the impacts of teaching, research and extension programs.
Materials used include published documents and data from internal reporting systems.
Financial data are from official University of Florida accounting reports, and published sources include The University of Florida Fact Book, The Florida Quality Evaluation Project and The Annual Expenditure Analysis. Research and extension program examples are from the Report of Research Accomplishments and from Extension Highlights. The annual extension report can be accessed via the World Wide Web, and the research annual report will soon be available in the same format. In addition, a wide variety of other information on IFAS, its statewide mission, and its programs can be obtained by accessing the IFAS Homepage on the World Wide Web.
