Description
The Departmental Enhancement program, administered by the Louisiana Board of Regents, is a competitive grant designed to strengthen the educational, research, and workforce infrastructure of academic, research, and agricultural departments and units across Louisiana. The program supports both comprehensive, multi-year projects with broad impact and targeted, short-term initiatives. Activities may include equipment acquisition, curricular redesign, and direct support for graduate students (fellowships, scholarships, or assistantships). A multidisciplinary component encourages collaboration across fields.
The program is intended to build capacity, advance departmental goals, and foster innovation through a wide range of eligible activities. Departments are encouraged to propose projects that will have a sustained impact on their educational and research missions.
