Message from the Associate Dean for Research

Happy New Year and welcome back to campus. It’s always exciting to see the University come back to life after a break, and I hope that the semester is starting out well for you. 


As you begin to plan your year ahead, I want to announce that applications are now being accepted for the Writing Subvention and Travel Support programs. More information, including the links to apply, is here. Submissions are due February 15.


I also want to bring your attention to UCAM’s 2023 Research News Year in Review.  The breadth of research here at UNM, and the critical role that A&S plays in it, is truly remarkable. Thank you all for the part you play in making our research programs impactful to our students, communities, and state of human knowledge more broadly.


I cannot wait to see what 2024 brings.
