Division of Research, Sponsored Programs and Institutional Effectiveness

The Division of Research, Sponsored Programs, and Institutional Effectiveness (RSPIE) is organized to strategically support Southern University at Shreveport, Louisiana (SUSLA) in being responsive to societal demands, state and national economic needs, as well as new governmental demands for increased performance. RSPIE is the institution’s vanguard for improvement that assists in maintaining SUSLA’s level and expectation of excellence and integrity through the establishment of a culture of evidence and accountability.

As the keys to improvement, the areas of operation – Planning and Institutional Research, Outcomes Assessment & Quality Management, the Office of Sponsored Programs, and the Academy of Excellence - strategically focus on data governance, assessment, institutional effectiveness, quality assurance, external funding procurement, and professional development. Each department or program is purposed to support the role, scope, mission and core values of SUSLA by leading the institution in evidence-based and data-driven decision and policy making that will assist in enhancing the quality of programs and services - ultimately increasing student access and success.
