Since 2022, UNM's Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) has hosted its annual Research & Discovery Week each November to advance knowledge about UNM research, foster cross-campus collaboration, and celebrate cutting-edge research and discovery across all disciplines. Join us on Nov. 6-7 and Nov. 13-14. 

Members of the UNM research community are encouraged to submit proposals for presentations or events. Organizers are looking for proposals representing the diverse range of research and creative activity across our campuses, and especially encourage proposals that highlight cross-disciplinary work.

Timeline 

  • First Consideration Deadline: June 30
  • Final Proposal Deadline: Aug. 15 
  • Notification of Acceptance: September 
  • Draft Program Release: October 
  • Event Dates:

The OVPR is excited to announce that Research & Discovery Week 2025 will be hosted jointly by Central Campus and HSC's research offices. This year, organizers are introducing a new format that will bring the community together for a series of "conference-style" research events at the SUB and at locations on North Campus, to be determined.
