9720652 Draayer The objectives of Louisiana EPSCoR are to become: (1) more competitive in gaining national research and development (R&D) support, (2) more actively engaged in science and technology (S&T) transfer activities with business and industry, and (3) more effective in educating larger numbers of S&E students, especially minorities, at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. The cornerstone of the State's plan is the Louisiana Education Quality Support Fund. Combining Support Fund money with EPSCoR support, the Louisiana Board of Regents (BoR) co-sponsors statewide programs with federal agencies that focus on stimulating systemic and sustainable S&T improvements, facilitating collaboration and sharing of resources, and on improving student teaching and opportunities. Targeted are R&D areas that help develop and strengthen the economy of both the State and Nation. A major objective will be expansion and strengthening of an innovative program that received a 10-year BoR commitment: the Joint Faculty Appointments Program (JFAP). The JFAP establishments nationally competitive S&E research teams between the state's Historically Black (HB) and Majority White (MW) Colleges and Universities (CUs). Six additional JFAP/Research Excellence (RE) teams and two annual JFAP/Science Education (SE) awards for educational enhancement activities will be initiated. In addition, to bring researchers from different campuses together to focus on issues of common S&E interest, a "Planning Grants for Major Initiatives" program will award annually two $60K grants to build constituencies and prepare NSF major initiative proposals. Another form of collaboration - researchers and industry - is scheduled for significant expansion, with plans to assess and alleviate barriers to the state's commercialization process, review university commercialization policies and develop a statewide commercialization plan and higher education S&E commercialization curriculum. Collaborativ e efforts will be strengthened by placing existing or planned statewide communication avenues at the disposal of faculty and students. These include: (1) an Audio/ Video Research Network, soon to be at 13 sites; (2) an ATM Internet Backbone; (3) a Faculty Expertise Database, ultimately to include a listing of Louisiana's major research facilities and instruments; and (4) an Electronic Research Administration project to automate grant and contract administration activities.

9720652 Draayer路易斯安那州EPSCoR的目标是成为：（1）更有竞争力，在获得国家研究和开发（R D）的支持，（2）更积极地参与科学和技术（ST）转让活动与企业和行业，和（3）更有效地教育更多的S E学生，特别是少数民族，在本科和研究生水平。 该州计划的基石是路易斯安那州教育质量支持基金。 结合支持基金的钱与EPSCoR的支持，董事会（BoR）路易斯安那州共同赞助全州计划与联邦机构，专注于刺激系统和可持续的科技进步，促进合作和资源共享，并提高学生的教学和机会。目标是有助于发展和加强国家和民族经济的研发领域。 一个主要目标将是扩大和加强一个创新的计划，收到了10年的BoR承诺：联合教师进修计划（JFAP）。 JFAP在该州历史上的黑人（HB）和多数白色（MW）学院和大学（CU）之间建立了具有全国竞争力的SE研究团队。 将启动另外六个JFAP/卓越研究（RE）团队和两个用于教育增强活动的年度JFAP/科学教育（SE）奖。 此外，为了使来自不同校区的研究人员聚集在一起，专注于共同感兴趣的问题，“重大倡议规划赠款”计划将每年颁发两笔6万美元的赠款，以建立选区并准备NSF重大倡议提案。 另一种形式的合作-研究人员和行业-计划显着扩大，计划评估和减轻国家的商业化进程的障碍，审查大学的商业化政策，并制定全州范围的商业化计划和高等教育S E商业化课程。 将通过将现有或计划中的全州范围内的沟通渠道置于教师和学生的支配下，加强合作努力。 其中包括：（1）音频/视频研究网络，很快将在13个站点;（2）ATM互联网骨干;（3）教师专业知识数据库，最终包括路易斯安那州的主要研究设施和仪器的列表;和（4）电子研究管理项目，以自动化赠款和合同管理活动。
