Registration is now open for the 2nd annual UNM Team Research Symposium, presented by the Interdisciplinary Science Cooperative and UNM’s Grand Challenges. Faculty, students, alumni, and community partners are encouraged to join us for this special event dedicated to exchanging ideas and promoting more productive research teams.
The goal of the Jumpstart Workshops is to prepare faculty and staff at Hispanic Serving Institutions for submission of proposals to the Competition of the NSF HSI Initiative.
Receiving a proposal rejection is dispiriting, but the reality is that most proposals are rejected, and every successful scientist has received numerous rejection notices. Carefully interpreting proposal reviews and responding to them effectively can drastically increase the likelihood of future funding success!
At Meet a Scientist events, six "Scientist Stations" are spaced throughout the museum and guests of all ages interact with real-world STEM professionals, ask questions, and take part in one or more activities. 
Program Officers from the Division of Undergraduate Education (DUE) will describe opportunities in the Scholarships in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics Program (S-STEM) and the Advancing Innovation and Impact in Undergraduate STEM Education at Two-Year Institutions of Higher Education Program Description. The S-STEM program has a solicitation to guide proposal submission. The Program Description, however, is more of an open call for submissions that will benefit undergraduate STEM education at community colleges.
Fay Cobb Payton, Computer and Network Systems, Computer and Information Science and Engineering Directorate, National Science Foundation. This talk will discuss an overview of the NSF/CISE Directorate funding opportunities. Details on different NSF funding mechanisms will also be covered. Attendees are free to ask questions to engage in an open dialogue.
The Fall 2021 NSF Virtual Grants Conference is designed to give new faculty, researchers, and administrators key insights into a wide range of current issues at NSF. NSF program officers will be providing up-to-date information about specific funding opportunities and answering attendee questions.
Building the Talent Pipeline: Hispanic/Latinx Students in STEM
Big Data in the power grid should not live in a silo. It materializes from GIS systems, field assets, day-ahead energy markets, real-time energy markets, weather data, network data, field maintenance data, and more. It has to be ingested, transformed, enriched, analyzed, and ultimately shared back with the grid operators, who must use it to make informed decisions and serve customers.
