Public
On behalf of the National Science Foundation Directorate for Education and Human Resources (EHR), you are invited to attend a special webinar highlighting upcoming funding opportunities within EHR, especially aimed at broadening participation in STEM.
The project is described on the website http://www.nmepscor.org/science/social-science-nexus. This is one component of the NSF EPSCoR project, Energize New Mexico.
Mark your calendars for 1:30 PM on Saturday, June 25th. The keynote speaker for CESE's annual meeting, Lawrence Krauss, will be speaking on
“Gravity Waves: a Journey to the Beginning of Time.”
Free and open to the public!
The STEM Advancement Program (STEMAP) engages students from New Mexico regional universities, community colleges and tribal colleges in the research funded by New Mexico EPSCoR. This summer, students will participate in a week of workshops at New Mexico Tech on energy topics and scientific research and spent eight weeks working with New Mexico EPSCoR-funded faculty and students on cutting edge research that is important to New Mexico. The summer program concludes with the STEMAP Student Research Conference on July 29 at which the students present their results.
Creative Startups will be hosting free webinars for questions about the program or the application process.
June 1st 4pm EDT / 2pm MDT
June 13th 7pm EDT / 5pm MDT
June 28th 10am EDT / 8am MDT
June 28th 6pm EDT / 4pm MDT

Several key themes have emerged that begin to define a path towards functional infrastructure. A central theme is the broad and careful use of persistent identifiers (PIDs) for data, documents, data types, instruments, people, etc., so that computers can unambiguously identify and locate key resources and their descriptions. One particular use of identifiers is in data citation and referencing. Pulling from examples within the research data management community, this webinar will discuss data citation infrastructures, solutions, and challenges.
The Data Observation Network for Earth (DataONE) is an NSF-supported DataNet project which is developing a distributed framework and sustainable cyberinfrastructure that meets the needs of science and society for open, persistent, robust, and secure access to well-described and easily discovered Earth observational data. Now in its seventh year of funding, DataONE has released a number of tools, services and programs that support users in their data management, discovery, preservation and education needs.
Online platforms like Kickstarter and IndieGoGo have revolutionized the way makers, gamers, app designers, and artists fund their new ventures. Crowdfunding has become so prolific it is set to surpass venture capital funds in 2016. Now famous brands such as Oculus Rift and Pebble Watch got their start on crowdfunding sites.
Since 1998, Software Carpentry has evolved from a week-long training course at the US national laboratories into a worldwide volunteer effort to improve researchers' computing skills. In this webinar, Software Carpentry's co-founder will explore what's been learned along the away about what scientists, engineers, and other researchers actually need to know about programming in order to make their work more shareable, more reproducible, more likely to be correct, and more efficient.
