Funding Opportunities
Southeastern Louisiana University subscribes to SPIN (Sponsored Programs and Information
Network), a comprehensive and current searchable database of federal, non-federal,
and international funding opportunities from more than 10,000 sponsors. SPIN is funded
by the Louisiana Board of Regents for Louisiana universities and is available for
all faculty/staff at Southeastern to use. SPIN enables users to search using different
criteria, such as keywords, locations, sponsors, deadlines, etc.
In addition, SMARTS (SPIN Matching And Research Transmittal Service) is available
for Southeastern faculty/staff use. This “alert” service of funding opportunities
will email links to funding information based on individualized keywords of the user.
In order to use SPIN or SMARTS, follow this link and create a user profile: https://spin.infoedglobal.com/Authorize/ModifyProfile.

Title:Grants for Rapid Response Research (RAPID)
SYNOPSIS: The RAPID funding mechanism is used for proposals having a severe urgency
with regard to availability of, or access to data, facilities or specialized equipment,
including quick-response research on natural or anthropogenic disasters and similar
unanticipated events.
Program URL: http://www.nsf.gov/pubs/policydocs/pappguide/nsf10_1/gpg_2.jsp#IID1
Award Type(s): Equipment , Facilities-Access To Research Grants/R & D
OBJECTIVES: The RAPID funding mechanism is used for proposals having a severe urgency
with regard to availability of, or access to data, facilities or specialized equipment,
including quick-response research on natural or anthropogenic disasters and similar
unanticipated events. The applicant must include clear statements as to why the proposed
research is of an urgent nature and why a RAPID award would be the most appropriate
mechanism for supporting the proposed work.
FUNDING: Requests may be for up to $200K and of one year duration. The award size,
however, will be consistent with the project scope and of a size comparable to grants
in similar areas. Cost sharing is not required. Indirect Costs are unspecified.
Louisiana Sea Grant has an online forum or bulletin board system (BBS) through which researchers collecting
samples subsequent to the Deepwater Horizon oil spill can coordinate their efforts.
The forum section can be accessed directly either at http://sg-server.lsu.edu/forums/ or at LSG’s website (www.laseagrant.org, scroll to the bottom; look to the left). Researchers wanting to coordinate their
collection trips should post threads under the “Research Sample Collection” topic.Using
the forum requires registration, which only takes a few minutes to complete. Once
registered, users can create threads, post and respond to messages, and maintain a
profile. Louisiana Sea Grant does not share forum user information. Other registered
users, however, can access certain profile information.Users also have the ability
to upload photos and other attachments up to 500K in size.
In addition, in response to consumer concerns about oil contaminated seafood from
the Gulf of Mexico reaching the marketplace, Louisiana Sea Grant has produced a short
video outlining the precautions taken to ensure tainted shell and finfish don’t end
up on the table.The video demonstrates how trained inspectors detect oil contaminated
seafood as part of the daily screening process. The one-minute LSG Seafood Safety Video is available for viewing at http://www.youtube.com/user/LouisianaSeaGrant. A high-definition version of the video also can be viewed or downloaded from Louisiana
Sea Grant’s website at http://www.laseagrant.org/communications/newsroom/. The HD video is an AVI file and may require a plug-in for your media viewer.
