Southeastern Louisiana University

Office of Sponsored Research and Programs

The Office of Sponsored Research and Programs (OSRP) promotes externally funded research, instruction, public service, academic and institutional support, enhancement, and scholarship and fellowship projects at Southeastern Louisiana University.   All projects seeking external funding (through grants, contracts, agreements, etc.) must be reviewed and approved prior to submission to granting agencies. The review process begins with approval of the principal investigator's department and college. OSRP requires five to seven working days to complete the remainder of the review and approval process. Only proposals approved by Southeastern's administration may be submitted to external agencies.   Don't Forget - All award-related technology purchases (regardless of price) should be discussed with Donna Methvien in Basic Computing Services PRIOR to purchase. The PS Grants module has been updated to include an Investigator Certification Statement.  When routing the proposal electronically, certification acknowledgement by the PI and Co-PI is required to allow the proposal to route through the PS system.  To review the Investigator Certification Statement, click here.   The Gulf of Mexico Research Initiative RFP II (for smaller, investigator-initiated proposals) has been released.    The purpose of RFP-II is to select proposals from individual investigators or collaborative efforts involving a principal investigator (PI) and up to three co-principal investigators (co-PIs) from no more than three additional institutions. RFP-II will fund activities for 1 to 3 years. The total funds available for distribution through RFP-II will be up to $7.5 million per year for up to 3 years; and funding for each approved proposal is expected to be between $100,000 (minimum) and $1 million (maximum) per year.   Click the link to download the full RFP-II Preparation and Submission Instructions http://www.gulfresearchinitiative.org/wp-content/uploads/2011/08/GoMRI_RFP_II_Instructions.pdf.   The timeline for proposal submission is as follows:  17 January 2012  9:00 p.m. EDT – LOI from each prospective Research Project due; 8 March 2012  9:00 p.m. EDT – Research Project proposals in response to RFP-II are due.   ********************** The Request for Proposal for the FY2012 NSF EPSCoR Preliminary Planning Grants for Major Initiatives and associated forms have been posted at the LA Board of Regents' Sponsored Programs website at http://laregents.org.
