From cancer and diabetes to coastal sustainability, energy, and agriculture, we improve the lives of our neighbors and loved ones every day. As a top research university, in the past year alone, LSU achieved $488 million in research activity across its eight campuses to advance Louisiana and the world. This achievement generated $1.3 billion in economic impact for Louisiana.
For more than 60,000 years, the standing tree stumps of the Alabama Underwater Forest--now 60 feet below the surface in the Gulf of Mexico--have remained intact, protected by the biogeochemical processes of the swamps and marshes they originally grew in.
Statewide achievement in research across all campuses added $1.3 billion in economic impact for Louisiana. Increased federal research funding demonstrates enduring success of LSU's Scholarship First Agenda.
