We love sharing useful and appropriate content with our constituents, but we must comply with state and federal requirements including digital accessibility laws.

General Guidelines:

- UF Researchers: We highly suggest asking UF Studies to post to their Facebook page first, then request us to share that post. UF CTSI has recruitment consultation that you may find helpful.
- Your Website/Social Media: Post on your website/social media and tag or notify us (this is the preferred method). We will review and share, if appropriate.
- Our Social Media: With our director’s approval, we may post your content if you do not have a website or social media presence, see content requirements below.
- Flyers (for print and posting on bulletin board only): If you email us a pdf or image of your flyer, we can print your flyer and post it on the bulletin board in our office.
