Join us for the final All Hands Meeting of the NM SMART Grid Center! All project participants (faculty, students, postdocs, staff, and partners) are invited to attend this in-person meeting at NM Tech. Students and postdocs who participate in the poster session will be eligible for prizes.
What is the goal?  To provide opportunities for non-tenured AND tenured investigators to develop their individual research potential through extended collaborative visits to the Nation’s premier private, governmental, or academic research centers. Only investigators from research universities and primarily undergraduate institutions in EPSCoR states (including NM) are eligible to apply.   What’s new in 2023? Changes impacting both Tracks:
The RDS will provide three training workshops for NM EPSCoR researchers as part of EPSCoR FAIR Policy to generate and document DOIs from data or code produced by NSF-funded projects. Through this workshop series, the RDS team aims to train EPSCoR researchers previously identified in our analyses as authors or co-authors of data or code that have yet to be reported or submitted to EPSCoR digital repositories.

NM EPSCoR works to support the next generation of STEM professionals in New Mexico. In the current award, the NM SMART Grid Center, we are pairing project students with New Mexico organizations through our Externship program.  
We are delighted to announce the 2022 NM EPSCoR Mentor Award winners—Dr. Manel Martínez-Ramón and Dr. Jun Zheng. Both were nominated by mentees and demonstrated characteristics of exceptional mentors, including strong professional and interpersonal relationships; working to advance their mentees’ academic, research, and professional goals; and creating inclusive environments for diverse students.   
Join us at Explora on June 2 from 1-2:30 pm to learn all about how the future of our power grid is being developed right here in NM. In addition, you will get to play with Explora’s new traveling exhibition “The SMART Grid” and sign up to host it for free at your organization. Finally, you will receive a free copy of our SMART Grid board game. We hope to see you there!
The third annual Virtual Distributed Energy Summit for the NM EPSCoR SMART Grid Center, hosted by Santa Fe Community College’s Smart and Microgrid Training Center, will take place on Thursday, June 23 and Friday, June 24, 2022.
