Description
New Mexico EPSCoR’s Research Infrastructure Optimization for New Mexico (RIO-NM) team offers Workshop Awards to catalyze partnerships and strengthen cross-institutional research collaboration. The program brings together faculty, postdoctoral researchers, students, educators, and subject matter experts to address self-identified gaps and the challenges of conducting high-impact research in New Mexico.
Awards support working groups advancing ideas and theories, analyzing recent or existing data, engaging industry in research, developing industry-academic workforce partnerships, or exploring science in policy and management decisions. Workshops should build collaborations across disciplines, facilities, or institutions around topics in NSF’s Research Focus Areas and/or New Mexico’s Science and Technology Plan. Intended outcomes can include ideas for future competitive proposals, publications, and new research or industry collaborations, with learning shared among relevant stakeholders.
