The Research Infrastructure Optimization for New Mexico (RIO‑NM) NSF E‑CORE project, led by NM EPSCoR, continued to gain momentum in Project Year 2. This year, the team reported several notable achievements to the National Science Foundation (NSF) that underscore RIO‑NM’s sustained commitment to strengthening research capacity across New Mexico. Below are two research highlights submitted to NSF as part of the Year 2 Annual Report. 

The 2025 edition of the New Mexico Journal of Science, a peer-reviewed publication produced jointly by the New Mexico Academy of Science and New Mexico EPSCoR, is now publicly accessible at https://www.nmas.org/2025-nmjs.

What does it look like when a state recognizes the quiet but steady work of its research community? On January 29, the New Mexico House of Representatives offered an answer to that question by formally acknowledging NM EPSCoR for its contributions to the state’s research ecosystem.

The event on "Research Awareness in Artificial Intelligence" is aimed for currently enrolled Mathematical Sciences (i.e.,

Research Infrastructure Optimization for New Mexico (RIO-NM) has announced the recipients of its Fall 2025 Supporting Undergraduate Research Experiences (SURE) awards, recognizing three innovative projects that will expand hands-on research opportunities for students across the state.
