CC*DNI Region: New Mexico Research and Economic Development Collaboration

新墨西哥州大学、新墨西哥州州立大学和新墨西哥州矿业与技术研究所正在合作举办区域讲习班，以支持全州范围的研究网络规划。新墨西哥州研究型大学的这一合作努力教育，鼓励采用，并提供现场技术专业知识，以实施先进的网络和网络基础设施（CI），以加强和支持新墨西哥州小型偏远学院和大学的STEM研究和教育。 邀请亚利桑那州和得克萨斯州邻近地区的高等教育机构参加讲习班，因为它们有着相似的人口、地形和挑战;以及新墨西哥州经济发展部、新墨西哥州地区政府委员会、新墨西哥州信息技术部以及市、县和州政府的其他部门，因为在新墨西哥州的农村地区，市政府和部落实体在将宽带引入服务不足的地区方面发挥了重要作用。教育实体、研究实体以及州和地方政府之间的重要伙伴关系确保了在这一服务不足的地区建立先进网络的成本效益，使偏远社区的研究人员能够蓬勃发展，以及改善该州的教育（包括远程教育），因为该州的许多学生都是家中第一个上大学的。

The University of New Mexico, New Mexico State University, and New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology are working together to deliver regional workshops in support of statewide planning for research networking. This collaborative effort by New Mexicoís research universities educates, encourages adoption, and provides on-site technical expertise to implement advanced networking and cyberinfrastructure (CI) to enhance and support STEM research and education at small, remote colleges and universities in New Mexico. Invitations to attend workshops are extended to institutions of higher education in adjacent regions of Arizona and Texas who share similar demographics, topography, and challenges; and to State of New Mexico Economic Development Department, the New Mexico regional Councils of Governments, the New Mexico Department of Information Technology, and other departments of city, county and state government because, in New Mexico's rural areas, municipal governments and tribal entities are instrumental in bringing broadband into underserved areas.The essential partnership between educational entities, research entities, and state and local governments ensures the cost-effective build-out of advanced networking in this underserved region, enabling researchers located in remote communities to thrive, and improving education (including distance education) in a state where many students are the first in their families to attend college.
