WELCOME TO THE LaSPACE Website

Picture of Dir. John WefelThe Louisiana Space Consortium is a member of a nationwide organization that partners NASA with colleges / universities and other space related institutions to promote scientific research, workforce development, and public outreach to develop and strengthen long-term research capabilities that will make significant contributions to the research and technology Mission Directorates of NASA. In turn, this contributes to the overall research infrastructure, science and technology capabilities, graduate and undergraduate education and economic development of the state. This program is funded by NASA and the Louisiana Board of Regents. On this web site, we describe the programs conducted by LaSPACE and also offer useful information for researchers, students, educators and the general public. We welcome comments for improvements to the content of the site.

LaSPACE NEWS

  • February 7, 2010: The 2010 cycle guidelines for the LaSPACE Research Enhancement Awards (REA) has been released. This program provides, on a competitive basis, small "seed" grants for scientific researchers at colleges/universities that are affiliates of the Louisiana Space Consortium. New this year is the addition of a "multi-investigator" component with an award up to $75,000 in order to encourage partnerships between large and small or majority and minority institutions. Application due date is March 15, 2010 for programs with a start date of 15 May to 1 June and a duration of less than 9 months. For longer duration or start dates of 1 August the application due date is April 30, 2010. The application guidelines can be found here on the LaSPACE website.

  • January 29, 2010: LaSPACE has released the 2010 cycle for the Fellowship program. This program supports graduate students, who are U.S. citizens and who undertake a curriculum of math, science or engineering at a college / university that is a member of the Louisiana Space Consortium. A LaSPACE Fellowship carries an annual stipend of $25,000 for graduate students seeking a doctoral degree and can be renewed for up to five years. For students seeking a master's degree the annual stipend is $20,000 and can be renewed up to three years or to the limit dictated by a terminal master's degree program. New for this cycle is the possibility for students to request an early evaluation in order to start the Fellowship at the beginning of Summer 2010. In this case, the application deadline is March 15, 2010. The application deadline for normal awards, which would start in Fall, 2010, is May 15, 2010. The application guidelines can be found here on the LaSPACE website.
