Workshop Awards | New Mexico EPSCoR The Research Infrastructure Optimization for New Mexico (RIO-NM) team seeks proposals for Workshop Awards.
This competitive funding opportunity aims to catalyze transformative partnerships across New Mexico's research ecosystem by bringing together teams of faculty, postdoctoral researchers, students, educators, and subject matter experts to address self-identified gaps in New Mexico’s current research ecosystem.
Workshop Awards are designed to foster innovation, strengthen cross-institutional collaboration, and address the unique challenges of conducting high-impact research in New Mexico. Any individual from a New Mexico academic institution, non-profit organization or national laboratory may submit a proposal.
Research Infrastructure for New Mexico (RIO-NM) aims to positively impact New Mexico’s research ecosystem by 1) investing in higher education institutions to build cyberinfrastructure capacity and to strengthen research pathways, and 2) nurturing connections between and among ecosystem stakeholders across higher education, national laboratories, industry, non-profit organizations, and government.
Workshop Award support is aimed at convening working groups that emphasize collaborative development and advancement of important ideas and theories, cutting-edge analysis of recent or existing data and information, industry engagement in research, industry/academic partnerships for workforce development, or the use of science in policy or management decisions.
Workshop Awards are not intended to fund the collection of new data or to sponsor conferences. Workshop Award proposals should be focused on catalyzing collaborations across disciplines, facilities, and/or institutions working on topics identified under NSF’s Research Focus Areas and/or New Mexico’s Science and Technology Plan . Outcomes of the Workshop Award must be specified.
Workshop Award funds cannot be used for proposal writing, but can be used to generate ideas that will be crafted into a competitive proposal in the future. If a proposal is an intended outcome, the program/agency to be targeted should be identified. Similarly, Workshop Award proposals should specify journals targeted for publication outcomes.
New collaborations with industry or research partners are acceptable outcomes, but the nature and extent of how the Workshop Award will further this collaboration should be fully explained. Proposals should also include plans for sharing what is learned during the workshop with relevant stakeholders.
Working Groups of 8–12 individuals meeting for 2–3 days have been shown to be the most productive, though Workshop Award proposals of shorter duration and varying participant levels (with commensurate budgets) will be considered. At least two New Mexico institutions or research organizations must be represented and participation from three or more is encouraged.
Proposals that involve participants from New Mexico’s primarily undergraduate institutions (i.e., four-year comprehensives or community colleges) and national laboratories are especially encouraged. Workshop Award proposals that have confirmed participants are rated more highly. No funds will be paid to the leader’s organization/institution.
The Workshop Award organizer will work with a NM EPSCoR staff person to pay for the meeting venue and/or establish a contract for lodging; the NM EPSCoR office will pay these expenses directly. The NM EPSCoR State Office will reimburse participants for other travel expenses after the meeting. Workshops proposal must be submitted at least 2 months in advance of the planned workshop date.
Any individual from a New Mexico academic institution, non-profit organization or national laboratory may submit a proposal. Direct involvement in a current or previous NM EPSCoR–funded project is NOT a prerequisite for submitting a proposal. Proposal Preparation and Submission Proposals must be submitted as a single PDF file, maximum size 5 MB, using a standard font in 11 point or larger, with one-inch margins.

The program aims to enhance literacy, math, and digital skills through online learning tools.
Panama’s universities have become an increasingly important arena for strategic competition. The Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has expanded its influence through Confucius Institutes, academic exchanges, research partnerships, scholarships, and sustained engagement with students, faculty, and university leadership. These influence operations foster distrust of the United States and promote CCP narratives at a critical time in the U.S.-Panama relationship. Embassy Panama seeks to expand the U.S. presence on university campuses by creating sustained opportunities for students, faculty, administrators, and researchers to engage directly with American institutions, experts, companies, and exchange alumni. Through English-language programming, AI and emerging technology workshops, entrepreneurship initiatives, visiting speakers, research collaborations, and public discussions on academic freedom and research integrity, the program will demonstrate the advantages of partnering with the United States while providing a credible alternative to CCP-sponsored programming. Working alongside EducationUSA, American Spaces, the Regional English Language Office, and existing Embassy initiatives, the project will complement existing exchange and advising programs by focusing on institutional engagement and public diplomacy. The Embassy seeks a year-long initiative that establishes enduring U.S.-Panama academic partnerships, expands American visibility across Panamanian campuses, and directly advances U.S. efforts to counter CCP influence in higher education. Funding Opportunity Number: PDS-PAN-FY26-01. Assistance Listing: 19.040. Funding Instrument: G. Category: RD. Award Amount: $25K – $150K per award.

NSF's E-CORE program funds up to 15 awards of up to $10 million over four years to help EPSCoR jurisdictions build the infrastructure cores — administration, cyberinfrastructure, workforce pipelines — that make research competitive. It's an institution-level award, not a lab grant, and the July 21, 2026 deadline rewards a fundamentally different proposal than most NSF competitions. Here's how it works.
