A week-long Junior Faculty Leadership Training Workshop will be developed and held annually in early January. Training will focus on providing assistant professors from colleges and universities throughout the state with the skills they need to better communicate, manage large research projects, educate about and promote diversity, and run a research laboratory. One day will focus on communicating science to decision-makers and will be taught by a science lobbyist who has extensive experience on Capitol Hill and has taught an experiential day-long workshop for numerous professional societies. This daylong activity will include a session with one of NM’s senators, congressional representatives, or one of their senior staffers. Other topics covered or skills developed in the workshop setting will include diversity training, informal science education programs, undergraduate research experiences, project and time management, research grant management, and evaluation and assessment of research awards for federal agencies.
Enhance leadership skills for faculty via a Faculty Leadership Fellowship Program.- Provide training for early-career faculty to enhance competitiveness and leadership skills.
