Get top notch research experience while getting paid! Thinking about a Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) career? Interested in field research but unsure about what it takes?
NM ISE Net members are invited to apply for three different grant opportunities in Years 3, 4, or 5. Grant funds will be released on a reimbursable basis. Apply for three different grants: Communicating NM EPSCoR Research to a Public Audience Tier 1 (Mini Grants), Communicating NM EPSCoR Research to a Public Audience Tier 2 (Exhibit grants), and Collaborating & Communicating with NM EPSCoR Researchers.
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.
The Infrastructure Seed Award (ISA) program is designed to increase the impact of NM EPSCoR on the undergraduate student population at New Mexico’s non-PhD granting institutions. The intent of the Infrastructure Seed Awards program is to increase the access of undergraduate students, especially women and members of underrepresented groups, to research experiences by increasing non-PhD granting institutions’ capacity to provide research experiences for students.
This year NM EPSCoR is proud to offer a brand-new externship program for graduate students. The EPSCoR Externship Program is a research exchange program that allows graduate students (or exceptional undergraduates) to spend a semester or summer doing research at a partnering New Mexico university or research facility. The application period is now open. Click here for more information!
For best consideration please apply by March 1, 2015.
The Undergraduate Visualization and Modeling Network (UVMN) program gives opportunities to engage diverse students in undergraduate research and CI-enabled education through the WC-WAVE grant. UVMN will provide professional development for faculty and students from Primarily Undergraduate Institutions (PUIs) in the three Western Consortium states of New Mexico, Idaho, and Nevada. Participation includes three basic components:
The Idaho, Nevada and New Mexico NSF EPSCoR–funded programs have formed a consortium of EPSCoR states with similar research agendas related to climate change and water resources , and cyberinfrastructure. In keeping with the Consortium mission, Innovation Working Group (IWG) funds are being made available to support collaborative, trans–disciplinary work by the three member states. The Western Tri–State Consortium IWG program is managed by a three–state team of Project Directors and EPSCoR staff.
The New Mexico EPSCoR Post Doc Leadership Workshop is an innovative 3-day intensive, residential program designed to enhance the professional skills of post-doctoral scholars in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) disciplines. The workshop will use interactive approaches to develop leadership skills that will contribute to post doc career development and success.
This workshop is open to post doctoral scholars in STEM fields from research institutions in New Mexico or our partner EPSCoR states of Nevada and Idaho. Lodging, meals and workshop materials will be provided. Space is limited to 20 participants. Complete the application form. For best consideration, submit your application by November 12, 2014; applicants will be notified of acceptance by November 18, 2014. For additional information, contact Mary Jo Daniel (mjdaniel@epscor.unm.edu or 505-814-7010).
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. Successful I-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 increasing knowledge in research areas relevant to Energize New Mexico.
The STEM Faculty Research Professional Development Program is designed to increase the impact of New Mexico EPSCoR on the undergraduate student population at New Mexico’s non‐PhD granting institutions. The intent of the program is to increase the access of undergraduate students, especially women and members of underrepresented groups, to research experiences by increasing non‐PhD granting institutions’ capacity to provide research experiences for students in a data intensive research environment.
