LSU Block Grant
Louisiana State University (LSU) was awarded $10 million to recognize and support its research expertise relevant to the oil-spill crisis, including its environmental science and ecology, engineering, coastal science and humanities departments. After multiple rounds of a rigorously peer-reviewed competition, LSU funded thirty-one projects in two formal rounds of proposals, with the majority of the grant dollars committed to researchers across campus. Key players include LSU's School of the Coast & Environment, as well as the Colleges of Engineering and Science, though other units are represented. For additional information, read the LSU press release.
