CFaR STRUCTURE

APPA invites researchers to the APPA community in order to enhance visibility around the annual Thought Leaders Series Top Critical Issues.  APPA encourages submissions for CFaR research based on the previous year’s top 10 critical issues within the facilities profession.

Once a CFaR research proposal is submitted online, APPA staff will review the proposal and submit it to the appropriate CFaR Assistant Director.  There are four Assistant Directors who represent each of the four core competencies: 1) General Administration; 2) Operations and Maintenance; 3) Energy, Utilities, and Environmental Stewardship; and 4) Planning, Design, and Construction. 

The completed proposal will be submitted to APPA staff and a member of the CFaR Advisory Council, who will primarily serves as an advisor to the Principal Investigator throughout the research process.

Throughout the research phase, APPA staff will act as a facilitator for the project and may be able to  provide some resources for the project. 

Once the research is completed, it will be submitted to APPA.  A select panel of peer reviewers will be chosen to review the final submission.  The peer review process will be confidential and should take approximately one month.  Based on the review, the document may require further research and revision.

APPA will accept all completed research submissions for consideration of that academic year’s "Researcher of the Year” award as well as other publication and/or presentation forums. Each researcher who completes a research project under CFaR receives a CFaR Research Award certificate at the next scheduled APPA annual conference.
