1. Louisiana Board of Regents

The Louisiana Board of Regents (BoR) was awarded a Department of Energy (DOE) Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) Planning Grant in September, 1991. Through this grant, the BoR surveyed Louisiana's energy-related science and engineering research capabilities, and determined which research areas were best suited for development through the EPSCoR program. Louisiana's DOE/EPSCoR program supported three research clusters concentrating on the basic energy sciences, environmental restoration and waste management, and environmental health sciences. More specifically, the topics dealt with by the clusters were (1) inorganic synthesis and laser-induced photochemistry relevant to the fabrication of electronic materials, (2) using high-energy ion beams and synchrotron radiation for modification and analysis of corrosion and wear-inhibiting coating of metallic alloys, and (3) development of mammalian and non-mammalian toxicological indices of risk associated with energy-related wastes. Each of the clusters involved multiple universities using an interdisciplinary approach to energy-related research and human resource development. Reprints of significant publications are attached.
