Innovation Working Groups
Submission Deadline: June 1, 2010.

Innovation Working Groups (IWGs) provide a venue for engaging NM scientists and educators along with key nationally and internationally recognized experts to address the grand challenges that can transform science and education. This program supports week-long working group activities that are modeled after those hosted by the highly successful NSF-supported National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS). Scientists from New Mexico, the EPSCoR Western Tri-State Consortium, and national or international experts may be invited. A strategic final objective of the IWGs is the submission of proposals that target NSF cross-cutting programs and/or the publication of synthesis papers.
