The Public Scholar program supports well-researched books in the humanities
intended to reach a broad readership. Although humanities scholarship can be
specialized, the humanities also strive to engage broad audiences in exploring
subjects of general interest. They seek to deepen our understanding of the human condition as well as current conditions and contemporary problems. The
Public Scholar program aims to encourage scholarship that will be of broad
interest and have lasting impact. Such scholarship might present a narrative
history, tell the stories of important individuals, analyze significant texts, provide a synthesis of ideas, revive interest in a neglected subject, or examine the
latest thinking on a topic. Books supported by this program must be grounded
in humanities research and scholarship. They must address significant humanities themes likely to be of broad interest and must be written in a readily accessible style. Making use of primary and/or secondary sources, they should open
up important and appealing subjects for wider audiences. The challenge is to
make sense of a significant topic in a way that will appeal to general readers.
LEEC Accepting Grant Proposals

FUNDING OPPORTUNITY - NSF solicitation,
Enriched Doctoral Training (EDT) in the Mathematical Sciences
The solicitation, Enriched Doctoral Training (EDT)
in the Mathematical Sciences, supports efforts by
academic institutions or other qualified organizations to meet the objective of preparing doctoral
students in the mathematical sciences who:
•
will be well-equipped to recognize opportunities for the development of mathematics and
statistics in problems from other disciplines, especially in challenges arising in business, industry, and
government; and
•
can effectively apply advanced mathematics
and statistics to solve problems originating outside
the traditional academic mathematical sciences setting.
The solicitation encourages creative partnerships
between academic, non-profit, and industrial organizations. The following is a synopsis of what the
EDT initiative hopes to support:
This solicitation received its first round of proposals
in Fall 2014, and NSF anticipates making the first
awards this spring. The second round of proposals
will be due in
July 2015.
2
This NSF solicitation is well within the UIDP mission scope and its timing is ideal for the new UIDP
organization. The UIDP can partner with an interested subset of our UIDP member organizations
in a myriad of ways. University members may be
interested as serving as prime, and team with other
UIDP member universities, industries, and the new
UIDP nonprofit as subs. Examples of UIDP organization involvement as a sub could be:
•
development of a series of webinars
•
focused UIDP training programs (UIDP
Academy) for candidates
•
creation of a short primer on non-academic
careers
•
coordination of university-industry internship
or any other ideas that seek to promote U-I engagement and workforce development matters.
Solicitation of Research Problem Statements
Deadline extended - February 13, 2015
The Louisiana Transportation Research Center is
beginning its biennial solicitation of research problem statements. These problems will form the basis
for the research program for the next two years.
This effort is essential to the successful development and management of the department’s research
program. It is your chance as our transportation
partners/customers to make a difference and optimize benefits to our industry. We welcome both
applied and theoretical problem statements and also
problems that require technical assistance.
Please distribute this solicitation to appropriate personnel within your organization. Research problem
statements should be submitted through the LTRC
web site at the following link: http://projectmanagement.ltrc.lsu.edu/ProblemStatement/SubmitProblemStatement.aspx. Problem statements are also
being solicited from LaDOTD personnel.
Research Problem Identification Committees
(RPICs) comprised of department, university and
industry personnel will be appointed according to
technical or management areas depending on the
content of problem statements submitted. They will
be tasked to review and to prioritize the ideas submitted. Each problem statement will be prioritized
according to need and implementation potential.
The top rated problem statements from each RPIC
will be again rated and prioritized by the Research
Advisory Committee (RAC) comprised of the RPIC
chairs and other section and district personnel from
the department. The RAC will provide a prioritized
selection of problems proposed for study.
Please feel free to contact Mr. Mark Morvant, Associate Director, Research (225-767-9124) for any questions about the process or for assistance in completing the problem statement forms.
