Sabbatical & Visiting Scholar Support
Planning a sabbatical at TIAMS? Send us the requirements.
Universities ask different questions when faculty request sabbatical or research leave. TIAMS can help you prepare the institute-specific information your home institution needs.
Send us your university's sabbatical form, instructions, or list of questions. We can provide accurate descriptions of:
- The TIAMS program and research themes you will join
- Planned working groups, seminars, tutorials, workshops, and collaborations
- Expected research activities and possible scholarly outputs
- Mentoring or student interaction when relevant
- Office and collaboration space
- Seminar, hybrid-meeting, and multimedia capabilities
- Proposed residency dates
- Baton Rouge housing and transportation resources
- Local visitor logistics
- Institutional setting and research community
When appropriate, TIAMS can also prepare invitation, participation, or institutional-support letters and coordinate supporting language from the Institute Director, College leadership, or LSU collaborators.
You remain responsible for any certification, approvals, and statements that your
home institution requires you to make personally. TIAMS makes the factual and programmatic
part of the process easier.
