Mission S n Stateme ment nt The LSU Office of Corporate, Foundation, and Research Relations (CFRR) is responsible for initiating and coordinating relationships with corporations, foundations, and government funding agencies that support LSU’s education, public service, and research missions. Additionally, the office is a campus-wide resource for LSU faculty, development staff, and researchers seeking corporate, foundation, and/or sponsored research funding for major initiatives that support LSU’s 2010 “Flagship Agenda.” Our goal is to provide “one-stop shop” service for both external CFRR partners and internal LSU constituencies.
