Project Management

 

     Project Director John P. Wefel and Program Manager Karen Johnson, who also provide program management for the Louisiana Space Grant program, conduct program Management of the EPSCoR project at LSU. This team, along with Jim Gershey of the Board of Regents, will also conduct the selection of participants for the opportunities provided in the Core Infrastructure Component. Wefel is a member of the state EPSCoR committee, which operates under the aegis of the Louisiana Board of Regents. Members of State government, particularly from the State Department of Economic Development, join others as members of the NASA EPSCoR TAC, and the management team includes the Louisiana Technology Transfer Office (which is closely coordinated with Stennis Space Center). The Board of Regents acts as fiscal agent for the NASA agreement just as in the "original" NASA EPSCoR cooperative agreement.
