SURA continues to foster collaboration among its member universities in science and engineering - beyond its current focus on the Jefferson Lab, IT and Coastal Research Programs - that meet SURA's support criteria (see below). It urges the SURA university presidents and faculty members, who have ideas for important new collaborative initiatives that SURA could commit to supporting, to bring these ideas to the attention of the President of SURA. Arrangements will be made by SURA, as appropriate, for documentation and initial consideration of such new ideas, p. the preparation and evaluation of white papers.
In addition to the special consideration of major new collaborative projects, as outlined above, SURA support will, as a general rule, be limited to:
• Financing of workshops, planning meetings, etc., associated with the promotion of projects or programs of collaboration between SURA universities and their teaching members.
• Assist in the identification and use of possible sources of project financing.
SURA, a consortium of more than 60 universities across the Southeast, seeks to foster collaboration among its member institutions in science and engineering and to foster new ideas for SURA collaboration programs that meet SURA's support criteria.
It was a "new idea" for an accelerator of a faculty member that led to the creation of SURA twenty years ago and the Department of Energy support for the construction of what is now the Jefferson Laboratory in Newport News, VA. It was a "new idea" of the faculty of three SURA universities that led to the creation in the mid-1980s of SURAnet, the first regional IT network, initially funded by the National Science Foundation and sold to the private sector in 1995. the "new idea" and the foresight of several presidents of SURA member universities that has unleashed a major new SURA initiative in coastal research since 2001.
SURA's efforts and financial support are currently focused on Jefferson Lab programs, post-SURAnet IT initiatives in networks and applications, and coastal research.
The financing of real projects developed through workshops, planning sessions, etc. normally it must come from organizations other than SURA Corporativo, p. universities or federal agencies. SURA does not have the resources to provide, for example, matching funds - as it has on occasion in the past - for proposals submitted for federal support in other areas of science and engineering.
