Louisiana Board of Regents

State Contact (STATE)

The Louisiana Board of Regents is responsible for coordination of all public higher education in the state. Funding opportunities for research and development that it offers include the Research Competitiveness Subprogram (RCS), a stimulus opportunity available to researchers who are currently not competitive for federal support but show strong potential for achieving national research competitiveness in an area funded by the federal government within a limited span of time, and the Industrial Ties Research Subprogram (ITRS), which funds research proposals that have significant near-term potential to develop and diversify Louisiana's economic base. The Proof-of-Concept/Prototyping Initiative, a consolidated component of ITRS, provides funding to enable technology transfer research and activities, to advance innovations toward commercialization.
