UNM turns challenges into opportunities with 10 new research teams
September 2, 2022 - Marissa Lucero
Child abuse, mental health, food and housing insecurity, and language endangerment — the issues facing New Mexicans everyday can be seen from the streets of Las Cruces to the doorways of Raton. But 10 research teams at The University of New Mexico are turning those challenges into opportunities, by pursuing long-term, sustainable solutions.
“The fact that we are here today, only three years later, looking to take on some additional challenges, is a testament to the vision and hard work of Lobo researchers everywhere.” - UNM President Garnett S. Stokes
This week, UNM’s Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) hosted a kick-off event announcing the expansion of the University’s Grand Challenges program with 10 new Level 1 Concept Teams. Leaders from UNM main campus, branch campuses, and the Health Sciences Center gathered to discuss the reimagined program and introduce the 10 teams to more than 150 people who attended the in-person event.
