The
Louisiana Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority (CPRA) continues
its support of a graduate assistantship opportunity called the Coastal Science Assistantship Program (CSAP). This program provides graduate assistant salaries for three years to Master of Science students
both enrolled full-time at Louisiana colleges/universities and involved
in research relevant to Louisiana coastal protection and restoration
efforts (see: THE MASTER PLAN - Coastal Protection and Restoration Authority of Louisiana).
The program will both expose students to CPRA activities and provide a
potential avenue for recruitment of new CPRA personnel.
The
Louisiana Sea Grant (LSG) College Program will administer these
assistantships with funding provided by CPRA. The assistantships will
be available to all faculty pursuing appropriate coastal protection and
restoration-related research at Louisiana colleges/universities to recruit new, outstanding graduate students. Up to four new
students will be funded each academic year based on evaluations of
applications submitted by faculty members. The annual student salary is
$25,000 for three years; however, CSAP funds may also be used to
defray costs for graduate assistant benefits and graduate assistant
tuition as necessary under the policies and procedures of the various
institutions. The total award (salary plus benefits) will not exceed
$25,000 per year for up to three years under any circumstances. CSAP
funds may not be expended on travel, supplies, equipment, or other such
budget items.
Applications from faculty must be delivered to David Nieland (see below) by 16 December 2011; decisions on award of the assistantships will be made
by CPRA before 30 January 2012. Funding should be available 1 June
2012. Complete information on CSAP plus program requirements and
application procedures are available at Louisiana Sea Grant - Coastal Science Assistantship Program For additional information, please contact either:
