AGENDA ITEM III FY 2016-17 Board of Regents Support Fund Award Recommendations SECTION A: INTRODUCTION A.1 Constitutionally Prescribed Program Components The Constitution specifies that the Board of Regents Support Fund (BoRSF) may be used to support any or all of the following: a. The carefully defined research efforts at public and private universities in Louisiana; b. The endowment of chairs for eminent scholars; c. The enhancement of the quality of academic, research or agricultural departments or units within a university; and d. The recruitment of superior graduate students. A.2 FY 2016-17 Board of Regents Support Fund Plan and Budget a. Projected Budget and Funds Available On January 6, 2016, the Board of Regents adopted the FY 2016-17 Plan and Budget for the BoRSF, which was later approved by the Governor and the Legislature. Based on Revenue Estimating Conference (REC) projections, the Plan and Budget allocated $22,000,000 across Support Fund components as follows: FY 2016-17 Support Fund Budget As Set Forth in the Board s Annual Plan and Budget Endowment of Chairs for Eminent Scholars $ 2,020,000 Research and Development $ 5,780,000 Enhancement of the Quality of Departments/Units $ 8,862,678 Recruitment of Superior Graduate Students $ 4,546,000 Board of Regents Administrative Expenses $ 791,322 Total Funds Budgeted $22,000,000 b. Actual Funds Available Since approval of the FY 2016-17 BoRSF Plan and Budget in January 2016, the REC has issued several opinions relative to the amount of money projected to be available for higher education s portion of the Support Fund. The most recent estimate, released in January 2017, was $20,600,000. This projection is significantly lower than the previous REC guidance and projections used to derive the approved Plan and Budget and, as a result, reductions in anticipated first-year funds must be taken in the competitive program components. Fortunately, cuts have been somewhat mitigated by the diligence of Support Fund staff in identifying savings in other budget categories. SECTION B: ENDOWED CHAIRS FOR EMINENT SCHOLARS COMPONENT B.1 Competitive Endowed Chairs Nine (9) proposals were submitted and deemed eligible for funding consideration this year under the Competitive subprogram. Five (5) proposals requested $400,000 each from the Support Fund to endow $1 million chairs; three (3) proposals requested $800,000 to endow $2 million chairs; and one (1) proposal requested $1,200,000 to endow a $3 million chair. All requests were to establish new chairs.

Agenda Item III: Board of Regents Support Fund FY 2016-17 Funding Cycle Senior Staff Recommendations Page 2 B.2 Restricted Bequest Endowed Chairs No requests for matching of restricted bequests were submitted in FY 2016-17. B.3 Summary of the Endowed Chairs for Eminent Scholars Program The nine (9) Endowed Chairs proposals requested a total of $5,600,000 in matching funds from the Support Fund. All disciplines were eligible to apply. A team of out-of-state consultants visited Louisiana in March 2017 to interview campus representatives, evaluate the proposals, and rank them using the guidelines provided in the Board s RFP and subprogram policy. (See Appendix A for the rank-order list of FY 2016-17 Endowed Chairs proposals and Appendix B for a summary of all competitive endowment proposals recommended for funding.) It should be noted that the following stipulation in the Board s Endowed Chairs policy is relevant to proposals submitted in the Competitive subprogram: When requests exceed funds available, the following limitations apply relative to the amount of money that will be awarded per campus under the competitive program: (a) each public campus will be limited to $1.2 million per fiscal year; and (b) all LAICU campuses combined will be limited to a total of $1.2 million per fiscal year. The $2,020,000 projected in the FY 2016-17 Plan and Budget to be available in the Endowed Chairs for Eminent Scholars subprogram includes $20,000 for consultants. Due to budgetary constraints, a reduction of $400,000 (one slot) is necessary, leaving $1,600,000 for allocation to successful proposals. This amount will enable funding for proposals ranked 1 and 3 in the Competitive subprogram; the proposal ranked second cannot be funded due to the per-campus funding limitation noted above. Senior Staff Recommendation The Senior Staff recommends provision of Support Fund money at levels requested to complete the endowments for proposals ranked 1 and 3 in the Consultants Report (i.e., proposals 002EC and 007EC). (See Appendix A.) SECTION C: ENHANCEMENT OF THE QUALITY OF DEPARTMENTS OR UNITS COMPONENT C.1 New Traditional Enhancement Projects The $8,862,678 figure cited in the FY 2016-17 Plan and Budget for Enhancement included the following distributions: Prior Commitments Traditional Enhancement $ 300,000 Federal Matching Grants $1,425,000 New Awards Federal Matching Grants $ 250,000 Endowed Two-Year Workforce Scholarships $ 800,000 Endowed First-Generation Undergraduate Scholarships $1,000,000 Endowed Professorships $2,000,000 Traditional Enhancement $3,087,678 TOTAL $8,862,678 The five eligible disciplines in Traditional Enhancement in FY 2016-17 are business, chemistry, education, mathematics, and physics & astronomy.

Agenda Item III: Board of Regents Support Fund FY 2016-17 Funding Cycle Senior Staff Recommendations Page 3 In the winter of 2016 and spring of 2017, six teams of out-of-state consultants reviewed, evaluated and ranked the various types of competitive Enhancement proposals. Using the Board s evaluation criteria, five teams evaluated, rated and ranked Traditional Enhancement proposals in the five eligible disciplines; the sixth team evaluated, rated and ranked Multidisciplinary Enhancement. The Endowed Two-Year Workforce Scholarships subprogram received only $620,000 in funding requests, so no review was conducted. Each team had appropriate expertise and experience relative to the specific requirements of the discipline and/or component being reviewed. With the exception of the Multidisciplinary component, the allocation level for each of the eligible disciplines in the Traditional Enhancement subprogram was determined by calculating proposal pressure and the amount of Support Fund money requested per discipline as a percentage of the total proposal pressure and amount of Support Fund money requested across these five disciplines in the Traditional Enhancement component. As stipulated in the FY 2016-17 Plan and Budget, Multidisciplinary Enhancement was calculated as 20% of the total available. The total maximum funding anticipated to be available for meritorious proposals in each of the root disciplines in Traditional Enhancement as well as Multidisciplinary Enhancement, based on allocations in the FY 2016-17 Plan and Budget, was calculated as follows: Business $ 469,327 Chemistry $ 938,654 Education $ 494,028 Mathematics $ 247,014 Physics & Astronomy $ 321,119 Multidisciplinary $ 617,536 TOTAL $3,087,678 These amounts helped to guide consultants in the development of funding recommendations. The following table summarizes consultants recommendations for Traditional Enhancement in each discipline and the Multidisciplinary component (Appendix C): Enhancement Discipline/Component # of Proposals Submitted 1 st -Year Funds Requested # of Proposals 1 st -Year Awards Business 18 $ 1,834,087 9 $ 446,681 Chemistry 36 $ 3,436,689 10 $ 939,982 Education 22 $ 1,560,965 7 $ 397,702 Mathematics 10 $ 918,063 4 $ 217,112 Physics & Astronomy 11 $ 1,412,854 2 $ 322,587 Multidisciplinary 16 $ 2,312,591 4 $ 516,395 Traditional Enhancement Total 113 $11,475,249 36 $2,840,459 Senior Staff Recommendations The $2,840,459 available and recommended for expenditure shall be awarded in the rank order, at the funding levels, and with the funding stipulations recommended by consultants, and shall be divided among the five eligible disciplines and multidisciplinary projects as follows (see Appendix C):

Agenda Item III: Board of Regents Support Fund FY 2016-17 Funding Cycle Senior Staff Recommendations Page 4 Discipline Ranks Total Funding Business 1-9 $ 446,681 Chemistry 1-10 $ 939,982 Education 1-7 $ 397,702 Mathematics 1-4 $ 217,112 Physics & Astronomy 1-2 $ 322,587 Multidisciplinary 1-4 $ 516,395 Total 36 projects $2,840,459 Should the amount of money ultimately available to fund first-year activities in Traditional Enhancement projects be less than the $2,840,459 disbursed herein, the following principles shall apply: (1) All Support Fund money shall be awarded in rank order, at funding levels and with stipulations recommended by consultants; (2) if the remaining money in the budget for a particular discipline is insufficient to fully fund the next recommended proposal for that discipline, the remaining funds shall constitute the total award for that proposal; and (3) should an institution refuse or be denied an award, that money shall be awarded to the next highest ranked proposal within that discipline. (See Appendix C.) Appendix D summarizes by campus the Priority I recommendations for new projects under Traditional Enhancement. C.2 Endowed Professorships The Board of Regents Support Fund Endowed Professorships subprogram requires the submitting college or university to raise at least $60,000 from external sources, which is matched by $40,000 from the Support Fund, thus establishing an endowed professorship valued at a minimum of $100,000. The subprogram policy guarantees two $40,000 matching slots to each four-year and special purpose campus, and one $40,000 matching slot to each two-year campus. The FY 2016-17 Support Fund Plan and Budget allocates a total of $2,000,000 to the Endowed Professorships subprogram for new, prior-year (resubmitted), and backlogged requests. With all requests validated, the Board received by the March 31, 2017 deadline applications for 198 Endowed Professorship $40,000 slots (58 new requests; 110 prior-year requests; 30 backlogged) from 17 campuses, requiring $7,920,000 in BoRSF matching funds. Each eligible submitting campus will receive matching for a maximum of four slots ($160,000), totaling $1,880,000. The $120,000 remaining will match three backlogged slots at LSU and A&M (See Appendix E.) A complete list of Endowed Professorships applications submitted for funding consideration in FY 2016-17 appears in Appendix F. Senior Staff Recommendation The Senior Staff recommends approval of $2,000,000 from the Support Fund for the Endowed Professorships subprogram: $1,880,000 to match forty-seven (47) new and prior-year and $120,000 to match three (3) backlogged submissions. (See Appendix E.) C.3 First-Generation Endowed Undergraduate Scholarships The Board of Regents Support Fund First-Generation Endowed Undergraduate Scholarships subprogram requires a submitting four-year college or university to raise at least $60,000 from external or institutional sources, which is matched by $40,000 from the Support Fund, thus establishing an endowed scholarship valued at a minimum of

Agenda Item III: Board of Regents Support Fund FY 2016-17 Funding Cycle Senior Staff Recommendations Page 5 $100,000; two-year campuses must provide $30,000, to be matched with $20,000 from the Support Fund to establish an endowed scholarship valued at a minimum of $50,000. The FY 2016-17 Support Fund Plan and Budget allocates a total of $1,000,000 to the First-Generation Endowed Undergraduate Scholarships subprogram for the establishment of at least 25 endowed scholarships for firstgeneration undergraduate students. With all disciplines eligible and all requests validated, the Board has received applications for five (5) $20,000 and thirty-five (35) $40,000 scholarship matches. It would require $1,500,000 to fund all submissions. A list of applications appears in Appendix G. Each submitting campus will receive a maximum of three matches for scholarship submissions, totaling $980,000. After funding three submissions per eligible campus, remaining funds of $20,000 are insufficient to provide a match to any remaining requests. (See Section C.2, above.) Senior Staff Recommendation The Senior Staff recommends approval of $980,000 from the Support Fund to match twenty-seven (27) applications submitted in FY 2016-17 under the First-Generation Endowed Undergraduate Scholarships subprogram. (See Appendix G.) C.4 Endowed Two-Year Student Workforce Scholarships The competitive Endowed Two-Year Student Workforce Scholarships subprogram provides scholarship opportunities for students on two-year campuses to enter the Louisiana workforce in the following ways: (a) train students for immediate entrance into selected, high-demand, four- and five-star jobs, including positions in nursing and allied health; and/or (b) prepare students to become job-ready in STEM fields after completing degrees on four-year campuses. Non-State contributions combined with a BoRSF match will produce permanent endowments. This subprogram replaces the Enhancement Subprogram for Two-Year Institutions. The FY 2016-17 Support Fund Plan and Budget allocates a total of $800,000 to the Two-Year Student Workforce Scholarships subprogram, to be awarded on a competitive basis. With all requests validated, however, the Board has received applications for the matching of thirteen scholarships, requesting BoRSF funding of $620,000. A list of applications appears in Appendix H. It was determined that a competitive review was not needed and all requests should be recommended for funding. (See Appendix B for a summary of all competitive endowment proposals recommended for funding.) The $180,000 remaining in the subprogram budget was used to accommodate budget reductions necessitated by lower-than-expected revenues to the BoRSF. Senior Staff Recommendation The Senior Staff recommends approval of $620,000 from the Support Fund to match thirteen (13) applications submitted in FY 2016-17 under the Endowed Two-Year Workforce Scholarships subprogram. (See Appendix H.) SECTION D: RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT COMPONENT D.1 Continuation of Previously Funded Research and Development (R&D) Projects and Other Prior Commitments The $5,780,000 cited in the FY 2016-17 Plan and Budget as being available for Research and Development (R&D) includes amounts for prior commitments to Support Fund R&D awards approved in previous years as well as approximately $135,000 in consultants costs for the FY 2016-17 R&D review process.

Agenda Item III: Board of Regents Support Fund FY 2016-17 Funding Cycle Senior Staff Recommendations Page 6 D.2 New Research and Development Projects The R&D component of the BoRSF includes the Research Competitiveness Subprogram (RCS), the Industrial Ties Research Subprogram (ITRS) with Proof-of-Concept/Prototyping (PoC/P) component, and the Awards to Louisiana Artists and Scholars (ATLAS) subprogram. RCS solicits proposals that strengthen the research foundations and competitiveness of Louisiana colleges and universities and help to promote long-term economic development. ITRS and PoC/P target proposals that support research with significant near-term potential for development and diversification of Louisiana s economic base. ATLAS supports completion of major scholarly and artistic endeavors from the arts, humanities, and social sciences with potential for broad impact on State, regional, national and/or international levels. Eligible disciplines in RCS for FY 2016-17 are biological sciences, computer/information sciences, earth & environmental sciences, chemistry, engineering B (industrial, materials, and mechanical), and health & medical sciences. ITRS with PoC/P invites ideas for applied research projects that promote near-term economic development in the State; accordingly the five high-priority industry sectors advanced manufacturing and materials, clean technology and energy, coastal and water management, digital media and enterprise software, and life sciences and bioengineering are targeted for support, though other disciplines may apply provided the project can demonstrate a significant potential economic benefit to Louisiana. ATLAS accepts proposals in all arts, humanities and social sciences areas. From November 2016 through March 2017, 43 subject-area reviewers and twelve final panel members across four panels reviewed, evaluated, and ranked research proposals according to the Board s RFP guidelines and evaluation criteria. The following table summarizes consultants recommendations across the four R&D subprograms/components (See Appendix I): R&D Subprogram Number of Proposals Submitted First-Year Funds Requested Number of Proposals First-Year Awards Research Competitiveness Subprogram 155 $ 7,335,489 34 $ 1,596,283 Industrial Ties Research Subprogram 28 $ 2,489,579 7 $ 440,700 Proof-of-Concept/Prototyping 20 $ 761,950 8 $ 312,043 Awards to LA Artists and Scholars 56 $ 2,378,248 17 $ 617,700 TOTAL 259 $12,965,266 66 $2,966,726 Senior Staff Recommendations The Senior Staff recommends approval of disbursement of $2,521,726 estimated to be available in FY 2016-17 to fund the first year of new RCS, ITRS, PoC/P, and ATLAS projects as follows: 1. Research Competitiveness Subprogram: $1,350,000 2. Industrial Ties Research Subprogram: $440,700 3. Proof-of-Concept/Prototyping Initiative: $309,300 4. Awards to Louisiana Artists and Scholars: $421,726 Most approved R&D proposals shall be funded at the levels and with the stipulations recommended by consultants; Support Fund money shall be awarded to fund at recommended levels the top twenty-seven (27) RCS proposals, seven (7) ITRS proposals, seven (7) PoC/P proposals, and eleven (11) ATLAS

Agenda Item III: Board of Regents Support Fund FY 2016-17 Funding Cycle Senior Staff Recommendations Page 7 proposals; the RCS proposal ranked 28 th, PoC/P proposal ranked eighth and ATLAS proposal ranked 12 th shall be funded partially, based on the amount of remaining funds in each category. In addition, the following principles shall apply: (1) should an institution refuse or be denied an award, or should FY 2016-17 money be returned from previously funded R&D contracts, that money shall first be used to provide full funding to rank orders partially supported with remaining funds, then offered to the next-ranked proposal which the consultants recommended for Priority I funding within the respective subprogram (ranks 29-34 in RCS and ranks 13-17 in ATLAS), subject to availability of funds; (2) if the remaining money in the budget for a particular component is insufficient to fully fund the next-ranked recommended proposal for that component, the remaining funds shall constitute the total award for that proposal; and (3) if there are no remaining Priority I proposals in a particular subprogram the money shall be awarded in descending rank order to Priority I proposal(s) in another R&D subprogram in accordance with restrictions applicable to allocation of funds for multi-year projects. Should the amount of money ultimately available to fund first-year activities in all R&D projects be less than the $2,521,726 disbursed herein, adherence to the following principles shall be uniformly enforced: R&D Priority I proposals shall be funded in rank order at the levels and the durations and with the stipulations recommended by consultants until the funds designated for each component have been exhausted. (See Appendix I.) Appendix J includes a summary, by campus and R&D subprogram, of new projects recommended for funding. SECTION E: RECRUITMENT OF SUPERIOR GRADUATE STUDENTS COMPONENT E.1 Traditional Graduate Fellowships Awards must be made under the Recruitment of Superior Graduate Students Program component more than one year prior to the time that funds are provided for the first year of the fellowship, since at least one year is required to conduct student recruitment activities, and committed for all remaining years to ensure ongoing student support. The twelve eligible disciplines in the Traditional Graduate Fellows component in FY 2016-17 are agricultural sciences, biological sciences, business, chemistry, computer and information sciences, earth and environmental sciences, education, engineering A and B, health and medical sciences, mathematics, physics and astronomy, and social sciences. In March 2017, a team of out-of-state consultants with expertise in both doctoral and master s-level programs, reviewed, rated and ranked twenty-four (24) Traditional Graduate Fellowships proposals in accordance with the Board s evaluation criteria. A total of $1,992,556 in first-year funds was requested for Traditional Graduate Fellowships, and consultants were informed that $800,000 in first-year funds were allocated for new projects. All funded projects will begin in FY 2018-19. Of the proposals submitted, the consultants recommended the top-rated twenty-one (21) Traditional Graduate Fellowships applications, for a total first-year expenditure of $797,500. (See Appendix K.) Yearly funding totals for all recommended proposals are: FY 2018-19 $797,500 FY 2019-20 $797,500 FY 2020-21 $757,500 FY 2021-22 $757,500

Agenda Item III: Board of Regents Support Fund FY 2016-17 Funding Cycle Senior Staff Recommendations Page 8 Senior Staff Recommendation The Senior Staff recommends approval of funding for the twenty-one (21) top-ranked Traditional Graduate Fellows proposals submitted in the FY 2016-17 cycle for the durations and at the levels recommended by consultants. (See Appendix K.) E.2 BoRSF/Southern Regional Education Board Graduate Fellowships to Promote Diversity Four (4) institutions submitted a total of four (4) proposals requesting funds for the support of 17 doctoral fellows in the FY 2016-17 competitive cycle for this subprogram. (See Appendix K.) A total of $425,000 in first-year funds was requested. Consultants recommended support for all four (4) proposals, for a total first-year allocation of $225,000. Funding will begin in FY 2017-18. For the recommended proposals, the yearly funding totals are: FY 2017-18 $225,000 FY 2018-19 $225,000 FY 2019-20 $225,000 FY 2020-21 $180,000 Senior Staff Recommendation The Senior Staff recommends approval of funding for the four (4) proposals submitted in the FY 2016-17 cycle to the BoR/SREB Graduate Fellowships to Promote Diversity subprogram for the durations and at the levels recommended by consultants. (See Appendix K.) Appendix K also contains a summary of the recommendations of Traditional Graduate Fellowships and BoR/SREB Graduate Fellowships proposals solicited in FY 2016-17, for which funding will begin in FY 2018-19 and FY 2017-18, respectively. E.3 Endowed Superior Graduate Student Scholarships The Endowed Superior Graduate Student Scholarships subprogram matches non-state contributions of at least $60,000 with $40,000 from the BoRSF to create endowed scholarships that may be used in support of graduate and first-professional students as well as post-doctoral fellows. Higher levels of endowment, in minimum increments of $60,000, may be matched with additional $40,000 contributions from the Support Fund. The initial corpus of the endowment must remain intact, while income above the corpus may be used to benefit the student recipient in the form of scholarships, fellowships, and/or experiential opportunities, including internships, externships, conference travel, and field work. The FY 2016-17 Support Fund Plan and Budget allocates a total of $1,000,000 to the Endowed Superior Graduate Student Scholarships subprogram, to be awarded on a competitive basis.
