The NM EPSCoR SMART Grid Center seeks applications for Collaborative Innovation Working Groups (C-IWGs). These awards primarily support groups of researchers (faculty, post-docs, and students), educators, and/or nationally recognized experts that seek to promote research innovation and integration in the area of smart grids, microgrids, cybersecurity, and cutting-edge research applications for advancing the country’s electricity production and delivery system. In addition, C-IWGs can support training/learning activities in emerging smart grid–related areas and address core challenges of advancing and diversifying disciplines, workforce training, and industries related to the electricity sector. Any individual from a New Mexico academic institution or national laboratory may submit a proposal.
