| 17th Annual Summer Undergraduate Research Forum (SURF) |
 |
Tuesday, July 20 2010 @ 01:26 PM CDT
Contributed by: JohnQ
The Summer Undergraduate Research Forum (SURF), will be held Thursday, July 29, 2010 from 1:00pm – 4:00pm in LSU's Union's Cotillion Ballroom.
The 17th Annual Summer Undergraduate Research Forum (SURF) where undergraduate students from across the LSU campus present their summer research projects. SURF includes students from research programs such as CCT REU, HHMI, LBRN, Office of Strategic Initiatives REU (OSI REU) and Physics & Astronomy REU as well as individual student researchers in various laboratories across LSU. The students will be on hand to discuss their work, which ranges widely across a variety of scientific fields - chemistry, biology, chemical engineering, math, computer science, biochemistry and physics will be represented. Students come from LSU, colleges from all across the state, and universities all across the country.
Please come and ask the participants about their summer research!

| Success Story of Louisiana COBRE/INBRE/RCMI |
|
Thursday, May 06 2010 @ 02:33 PM CDT
Contributed by: JohnQ
| Scientists
from several Louisiana academic institutions attracted over
250 million dollars in competitive National Institutes of Health
funding.
Click
on the brochure for
more information.
The National Institutes
of Health (NIH) Institutional Development
Award Program (IDeA) was established in 1993 to broaden the geographic
distribution of NIH funding for biomedical and behavioral research. The
program fosters health-related research and enhances the
competitiveness of investigators at institutions in 23 states and
Puerto Rico. The program also serves unique populations, such as rural
and medically underserved communities, in these states. The IDeA
program is supported by the National Center for Research Resources
(NCRR) Division of Research Infrastructure.
The IDeA program has two
components, Centers of Biomedical Research
Excellence (COBRE) and IDeA Networks of Biomedical Research Excellence
(INBRE).
COBRE programs build
multi-disciplinary research centers with a
thematic scientific focus. Junior investigators graduate from the
program after they obtain NIH competitive funding on their own.
INBRE programs enhance
biomedical research capacity in primarily
undergraduate institutions in alliance with LSU, as a major research
institution in Louisiana.
RCMI programs enhance the
research capacity and infrastructure at
minority colleges and universities that offer doctorates in health
sciences. The program serves the dual purpose of bringing more minority
scientists
into mainstream research and enhancing studies of minority health. The
RCMI is also supported by NIH NCRR.

| First in U.S. - LSU Access Grid in Life Sciences meets Global Quality Assurance standard |
|
Tuesday, November 11 2008 @ 10:56 AM CST
Contributed by: JohnQ
The LSU Life Sciences Access Grid node has become part of the Global Quality Assurance Program for Access Grid nodes. This program was built by Jason Bell at CQU in Australia to provide and maintain a high standard of communication between Access Grid node sites and presented at previous Access Grid Retreats. An increasing number of nodes are meeting or requiring this level of quality assurance or "QA". Nodes in Australia, Canada, and England, with several others around the world have met this requirement. LSU is the first in the U.S. to do this.
Anyone meeting with a site that has been QA'd will know they are meeting with a site that meets a high level of quality without wasting time troubleshooting networking, audio, and operational issues. In addition, this node is able to begin QA'ing other nodes in the state of Louisiana. A list of available testers are listed here: http://www.accessgrid.org/qatesters
Information about the QA process is available here: http://www.accessgrid.org/qa-program
The list of registered Access Grid nodes on the Access Grid website here: http://www.accessgrid.org/nodes, nodes that are QA'd are checked in red. LSU's Life Sciences node, listed here, was the first in the state to be built in 2002 with the help of funding from then LSU Capital (now CCT), the LSU College of Basic Sciences, and funding from NIH IDeA program is gratefully acknowledged on this website.
