[LA-SiGMA-funded] EPSCoR RII Track 1 competition

[Robert Lipton]

Dear Mark,

Thank you for the heads up. Count me in.

Best,
Rob

> Dear LONI Institute and LA-SiGMA members,
> Just before the holidays, the State EPSCoR office sent out the request for
> proposals for the next EPSCoR RII Track 1 competition (attached).   If
> successful, this grant would provide up to $4/year for up to five years.
>  The subject matter of the RFP has significant overlap with LA-SiGMA and
> LONI Institute (LI).  Quoting from the RFP:
>
> "The proposal must be focused on scientific and engineering research in
> Advanced Materials and Manufacturing; i.e., physics-based materials models
> to link manufacturing, production, design, and materials; smart materials;
> and multiscale systems and manufacturing. The proposed initiative should
> bring together a confluence of scientists and engineers to bridge the gaps
> that exist between theory, modeling and simulation, application, and
> production. The goal is to link the structure and composition of
> materials—extending the entire length scale—with their manufacturing and
> properties. Successful proposals will leverage the State’s investments in
> computational resources, cyberinfrastructure, and advanced materials
> science. Proposals should establish strong linkages between institutions
> and the private sector. EPSCoR funds must be expended in Louisiana and
> cannot be transferred to other locations for these initiatives."
>
> We should be able to leverage many of the outreach and education programs
> that have been build by LI and LA-SiGMA.  Thus far our research focus has
> been materials design using ICME, but we have not settled on any
> particular
> set of materials yet.  We would like to know if you would be able to
> participate in an organization meeting some time in the next week or so to
> discuss the possibility of putting together a proposal based upon LA-SiGMA
> and LI.   Possible dates for the meeting could be Jan 13, 15, 16, 22, or
> 23.  Since classes start at LSU on the 15th, the 13th might be the best
> date.  If enough people are interested, we will use a doodle poll to find
> the best time

> best,
