LaSPACE Research Enhancement Awards Program

REA Image The Louisiana Space Consortium is pleased to announce its Research Enhancement Awards (REA) Program. This opportunity is intended to provide support for faculty (and students) at LaSPACE member institutions, particularly aimed at the emerging researcher or an established researcher who wishes to pursue new research directions, for the development of projects, contacts and collaborations that will bring Louisiana scientists into the mainstream of NASA related research activity, thereby increasing their chances to successfully compete in the aerospace R&D marketplace.

The Research Enhancement program is intended to supplement, not duplicate, existing federal and state opportunities, to support faculty and/or students at LaSPACE member institutions in order to help develop contacts and collaborations that will bring Louisiana scientists and engineers into the mainstream of research activity, thereby increasing their chances to compete successfully in the Aerospace R & D marketplace.

The overall goal of the Research Enhancement program is to effectively utilize the resources available through LaSPACE as incentives for faculty and students to:

  • Develop new research projects or directions
  • Obtain unique training and exposure
  • Foster collaborations among the campuses as well as with NASA centers, other federal labs, the aerospace industry or multi-national groups.

The degree to which a proposed project fulfilled these goals and its likelihood to lead to future involvement are factors in the evaluation of the applications.
