Interdisciplinary Innovation Working Groups (I-IWG) provide a venue for researchers, educators, and nationally recognized experts to address grand challenges that require an interdisciplinary approach to transform science. I-IWG support (up to $7500) is aimed at working groups that emphasize the collaborative development and testing of important ideas and theories, cutting-edge analysis of recent or existing data and information, the use of sound science policy and management decisions, and investigation of social issues that pertain to energy development that minimizes impacts on water and the environment.
Diversity Innovation Working Groups (D-IWG) provide a venue for researchers, educators, and nationally recognized experts to address challenges associated with engaging and retaining women, members of under-represented groups, and first-generation college students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM) in New Mexico. Successful D-IWGs will result in innovative proposals to NSF or other agencies, publication of synthesis papers in peer-reviewed journals, or other defined outputs that are likely to contribute to broadening participation in STEM.
The NM EPSCoR Mentoring Award is designed to recognize two NM EPSCoR participants who not only build relationships with students and support their academic, research, and career endeavors, but also work to create inclusive environments for our diverse students. NM EPSCoR is seeking nominations for one NM EPSCoR faculty or staff member and one NM EPSCoR graduate student who have the following characteristics:

We encourage all EPSCoR participants of the current RII4 Energize New Mexico project to submit abstracts for a paper presentation and/or a poster presentation, especially students looking to diversify their presentation and speaking skills. Abstracts selected for presentation will be published in the 2016 New Mexico Journal of Science! If you are interested in submitting an abstract, please read the Abstract Submission Guidelines (PDF) for instructions.
The New Mexico Alliance for Minority Participation (New Mexico AMP) invites you to attend its Undergraduate Research Conference at the Las Cruces Convention Center, September 29 – October 1 , 2016.
The National Museum of Nuclear Science & History will host a photo art exhibit that invites members of the community to share their photographic talent and eye for everything that is Science, Technology, Engineering, Art and Mathematics (STEaM). The "Atomic STEaM Photography Show" exhibition will display photography ranging from the literal engineering feats of the Great Wall of China and the Great Pyramid of Giza, to the abstract interpretation of science as seen through a plant experiencing photosynthesis.

The Water Resources Research Institute is holding a conference, "Environmental Conditions of the Animas and San Juan Watersheds with Emphasis on Gold King Mine and Other Mine Waste Issues," to facilitate the exchange of data and ideas around the Animas River spill. The WRRI is calling for abstracts in fields relating to geology, hydrology, mining, mitigation of contamination, transport of contaminants, and more.
