New Mexico EPSCoR Infrastructure Award

新墨西哥EPSCoR项目侧重于自然资源分析和管理以及纳米科学。目标是加强这两个重点领域的基础设施，消除竞争研究和有关教育和经济发展的障碍。新墨西哥州各机构之间计算机连接和通信的改善巩固了这两个重点领域。六所院校将参加：新墨西哥大学、新墨西哥州立大学、新墨西哥矿业与技术学院、东新墨西哥大学、西新墨西哥大学、新墨西哥高地大学、圣胡安学院和戴恩学院。在自然资源分析与管理领域，新的自然资源分析与管理研究所将增加遥感/水文和林业方面的新教员，以及环境化学和空间分析方面的新实验室。在纳米科学方面，购买高分辨率显微镜和增加连接将有助于新墨西哥校园之间以及校园与国家实验室之间的合作。集成纳米技术中心是由桑迪亚国家实验室、洛斯阿拉莫斯国家实验室和新墨西哥大学合作建立的，它将参与促进研究合作和提供纳米科学教育。新墨西哥矿业与技术学院的教师科学硕士项目将把纳米科学和纳米技术引入课程。

The New Mexico EPSCoR project focuses on natural resource analysis and management and nanoscience. The goal is to strengthen the infrastructure in these two focal areas and remove the barriers to competitive research and to related educational and economic development. Improved computer connectivity and communication among New Mexico's institutions undergirds both focal areas. Six institutions will be participating: University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, Eastern New Mexico University, Western New Mexico University, New Mexico Highlands University, San Juan College, and Dine College. In the Natural Resource Analysis and Management area, new faculty in remote sensing/hydrology and forestry in addition to new labs in environmental chemistry and spatial analysis will be featured in the new Institute for Natural Resource Analysis and Management. In Nanoscience, the purchase of high-resolution microscopes and increased connectivity will contribute to the collaborations among the New Mexico campuses and between the campuses and the national laboratories. The Center for Integrated Nanotechnologies, designed as a collaboration between Sandia and Los Alamos National Laboratories and the University of New Mexico, will participate in fostering research collaborations and providing nanoscience education. The Master of Science for Teachers program at New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology will introduce nanoscience and nanotechnology into the curriculum.
