Impact of Federal Sequestration on UNM

It appears both the imme­di­ate and the long term impact of the fed­eral seques­tra­tion at UNM will be a steady shrink­ing of opportunity. UNM Provost Chaouki Abdal­lah says the imme­di­ate impact will be felt in research.

UNM fac­ulty have sub­mit­ted numer­ous grant pro­pos­als to fed­eral fund­ing agen­cies for research fund­ing in the com­ing bud­get cycle, but have not yet heard which projects will or will not be funded.
