Building Research Partnerships with Audio/Video Conferencing Facilities

9632665路易斯安那州EPSCoR委员会Draayer LaSER将建立一个压缩音频/视频（a /V）通信网络，以提高该州的研究竞争力。拟议中的网络将连接八所高等教育机构和校董会。具体而言，LaSER将在为其EPSCoR研究集群和中心提供领导的机构建立A/V中心。通过为EPSCoR研究人员提供参与机构间分享/战略会议的工具，A/V中心将使研究人员能够克服作为机构间研究合作基本障碍的地理隔离；(2)作为一个扩展的下一代，全州范围的研究网络的原型。

9632665 Draayer LaSER, Louisiana's EPSCoR Committee, will build a compressed audio/video (A/V) communication network to enhance the state's research competitiveness. The proposed network will interconnect eight institutions of higher education and the Board of Regents. Specifically, LaSER will establish A/V centers at institutions which provide leadership for its EPSCoR research clusters and centers. The A/V centers will allow researchers to overcome the geographical separation that acts as a fundamental barrier to inter-institutional research collaborations by giving EPSCoR researchers tools for participating in inter-institutional sharing/strategy sessions; and (2) serve as a prototype for an expanded next-generation, statewide research network.
