Council on Research
LSU is Louisiana's flagship institution for research and plays a leading
role as a catalyst for change in the State, nation and world. University
researchers are at the forefront in developing new technology, scholarships
and programs, providing education and training for the State's population,
and developing a new generation of leadership to take Louisiana into the
next century.
As the only public Carnegie designated Research Extensive University in
Louisiana, LSU has more than 2,000 sponsored research projects underway
at any given time. In order to provide effective leadership and progressive
assistance, the Council on Research serves the Office of Research & Economic Development
in an advisory capacity. The Council is concerned with increasing
the sponsored program funding, facilitating research and creative efforts
and ensuring that LSU's organized research and public service units are
models of excellence.
