This interactive workshop will equip you with the essential skills and knowledge to become a confident and compelling science communicator.Travel support may be available for those traveling more than 50 miles to participate. Workshop Sponsors: DREAM Center at NMSU and RIO-NM at NM EPSCoR
Research Infrastructure Optimization for New Mexico (RIO-NM) held its first Early Career Workshop on June 3-4 at UNM's Center for High Technology Materials in Albuquerque. Led by NM EPSCoR, RIO-NM is an NSF EPSCoR E-CORE project focused on strengthening New Mexico's research ecosystem. The two-day event brought together 18 postdoctoral researchers and early-career faculty from six institutions across the state.
The New Mexico Journal of Science is accepting papers for consideration for the next issue (2025). All papers are subject to a peer review process. There is no cost to authors for publishing and all papers will be open-source accessible. Papers can be from a variety of scientific disciplines. All novel and previously unpublished work will be considered for publication. Please email your manuscript submission to the editor, Seyi Adekoya, at sadekoya1@unm.edu.
The Early Career Workshop is a two-day intensive program for NM postdoc
The Early Career Workshop is a two-day intensive program for NM postdocs and faculty in STEM research and education disciplines. This practical, hands-on workshop addresses ideation, proposal writing, project management, and effective public communication, empowering participants to increase their research productivity, funding, and impact.
The Seed Award program supports transformative research and capacity building across New Mexico’s academic institutions. These awards fund the purchase of research equipment, support for student researchers, acquisition of research supplies, and student conference travel. Program goals are to 1) foster initiatives that enhance research capacity (including cyberinfrastructure), productivity, and external funding competitiveness, and 2) increase student access to meaningful research experiences across the state.
The Research Infrastructure Optimization for New Mexico (RIO-NM) team seeks proposals for Workshop Awards. This competitive funding opportunity aims to catalyze transformative partnerships across New Mexico's research ecosystem by bringing together teams of faculty, postdoctoral researchers, students, educators, and subject matter experts to address self-identified gaps in New Mexico’s current research ecosystem.
On January 14, 2025 the Research Infrastructure Optimization for New Mexico (RIO-NM) award team met at the Indian Pueblo Cultural Center for a day-long strategic planning bonanza. See the photos…
