Event Category: NM SMART Grid Center Webinar

The NM EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) SMART Grid Center seeks applications for Collaborative Innovation Working Groups (C-IWGs). These awards primarily support groups of researchers (faculty, post-docs, and students), educators, and/or nationally recognized experts that seek to promote research innovation and integration in the area of smart grids, microgrids, cybersecurity, and cutting-edge research applications for advancing the country’s electricity production and delivery system.

The Infrastructure Seed Award program is designed to support transformative research and capacity building across New Mexico’s academic institutions in emerging smart grid areas (e.g., computer science, electrical and computer engineering, cyberinfrastructure, and workforce development). The awards can be used to purchase research and teaching equipment and to pay for student researcher salaries, research supplies, and student conference travel.

Presenters:
Diana Dugas, CyberInfrastructure Architect, NMSU
Karl Benedict, Director of Research Data Services/ Director of IT, UNM

Data Carpentry develops and teaches workshops on the fundamental data skills needed to conduct research. Its target audience is researchers who have little to no prior computational experience, and its lessons are domain specific, building on learners' existing knowledge to enable them to quickly apply skills learned to their own research. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

The STEM Advancement Program (STEMAP) engages students from New Mexico’s regional universities, community colleges, and tribal colleges in the research funded by the New Mexico SMART Grid Center at UNM, NMSU, and NMT. Up to 12 students are selected to participate each summer.

Important Update!

NM SMART Grid Center Afternoon Research Group Meeting.

There will be no in-person meeting. Instead, plan to virtually meet on March 31, 2:00pm to 5:00pm for NM SMART Grid Center Research group and cyberinfrastructure meetings. More details to come...

*Registration for the 2020 Early Career Leadership Workshop is now closed. Registration for the 2021 workshop will open in Fall 2020*

*Registration for the 2020 Team Science Leadership Training is now closed. Registration for the 2021 training will open in Fall 2020*

The NM EPSCoR Team Science Leadership Training is three-day intensive, residential program designed to help train the next generation of research center leaders. The workshop will provide tools for participants to plan and manage large, interdisciplinary projects. Topics covered include building and leading diverse and productive teams, project management skills, strategic planning, and communications.

Software Carpentry aims to help researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts and tools, including program design, version control, data management, and task automation. Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

Software Carpentry helps researchers get their work done in less time and with less pain by teaching them basic research computing skills. This hands-on workshop will cover basic concepts and tools, including program design, version control, data management, and task automation (Unix shell, Git, and Python). Participants will be encouraged to help one another and to apply what they have learned to their own research problems.

The workshop is open to all--graduate students, researchers, and interested members of the community. No prior knowledge or experience is necessary.
