2024 EPSCoR Research Fellows: What You Need to Know
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.

NM EPSCoR Faculty Kudos
Often there are simply too many accomplishments to fit into our tiny kudos section. This month, we've compiled a list of kudos-worthy accomplishments by NM EPSCoR faculty that we missed the first go round. Have something we missed in our previous newsletters and below? Reach out to Brittney (bvdw@epscor.unm.edu) to have it included in the next newsletter kudos section.

UNM Engineering Open House is BACK!
After a few hard years (and a couple of false starts) the Open House will be back in person. We are excited about the event and we hope you are excited to participate. Below are the important details for you to know.
Ways to Participate
There are three main ways for you to participate:
UNM Receives NSF Award to Further Quantum Science and Engineering Research
The National Science Foundation has awarded researchers at the University of New Mexico (UNM) and the University of Delaware (UD) an EPSCoR (Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research) Track 2 grant for $4 million to advance quantum photonic technology research and to establish a quantum science and engineering graduate program at UNM.
Engineering in the Real World & Spatial Reasoning
Students do NOT have to be from UNM to attend! Our intent for this session is to give you an idea of who we are and introduce you a bit more to what Engineering is! Followed by Spatial Reasoning, also thought of as Visual Thinking, to expose you to the concept of spatial reasoning, the importance of it, and how to develop your spatial reasoning skills to make your journey as an engineer or computer scientist just a little easier.
