Full proposals are due in November. Check the RFP for specific dates and time.

19. BOR FOCUS: ATLAS Funding Considerations  Funding cannot exceed $50,000 over a one-year period. A proposal from multiple eligible faculty for a single cohesive project may request support of not more than $50,000 per participating faculty member.  Salary may not exceed 50% of the applicant’s AY salary and fringe, and leave (typically sabbatical) equivalent to the salary requested from BOR must be guaranteed by the institution.  Funds can be used for student assistants, publication costs, research travel, equipment, travel related to presentations of ATLAS-funded work and for out-of-state consultants to travel to Louisiana to assist in project work.
