Letter from the Associate Dean for Research | |
|
Last week, an announcement was made in the Research Report regarding an invitation to submit your research project descriptions for potential funding opportunities. I want to encourage all faculty, or teams of faculty, to consider submitting their projects through the process outlined here so that we can be aware of where your research is heading and help identify opportunities.
As the semester begins to wind down and we prepare for the holiday break, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you for everything you do for the College and our students. The past 20 months have been extraordinary and the challenges that the pandemic continues to bring us have been met with nothing but courage and grace by our faculty, staff, and students. I hope that however you choose to spend your break, it brings you peace and happiness, and I am optimistic to seeing what the new year brings us all.
The Research Report will take a hiatus beginning December 20th and will return to your inboxes on January 10th. In the meantime, please continue to share your successes through ResearchWins@unm.edu.
Warmly,
