There are a number of Early Career specific funding opportunities. You can find more about them by searching the Early Career Investigator Funding Opportunities page. Below is an archive celebrating the early career specific achievements of principal investigators at the University of New Mexico.
Lydia Tapia, an assistant professor in the Department of Computer Science at the University of New Mexico, was the 2015 winner of the Denice Denton Emerging Leader ABIE Award. This award recognizes a junior faculty member for high-quality research and significant positive impact on diversity.
José M. Cerrato, an assistant professor in the UNM Department of Civil Engineering, has received the Oak Ridge Associated Universities (ORAU) Ralph E. Powe Junior Faculty Enhancement Award. His research is focused on the "Impact of Metals Associated to Ash on Water Quality after Catastrophic Wildfires".
Elizabeth L. Dirk, an assistant professor in the University of New Mexico Department of Chemical and Biological Engineering, has been awarded a $400,000 National Science Foundation (NSF) Faculty Early Career Development (CAREER) award. This funding will support research on heart valve tissue engineering, as well as the development of programs to encourage students to pursue biomedical engineering. The grant, which began July 1, 2014, and runs through June 30, 2019, will be used to research heart value tissue engineering with the aim of providing suitable living tissue equivalents for the treatment of valve disease. In addition, diseased-like models will also be developed to study the onset and progression of heart valve disease, leading to preventative and early treatments for those with this life-threatening disease.
Brandon Schmandt, an assistant professor in the University of New Mexico’s Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, was awarded the 2013 Keiiti Aki Young Scientist Award presented by the Seismology Section of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) at its 46th annual fall meeting in San Francisco where more than 22,000 Earth and space scientists, educators, students and other leaders convened recently.
Assistant Professor in Physics and Astronomy, Francisco Elohim Becerra Chavez, was one of 42 recipients of the highly competitive 2014 Air Force Office of Scientific Research (AFOSR) Young Investigator Research Program. His project is about "High-Capacity Atom-photon Interfaces for Quantum Information".
