The U.S. National Science Foundation announced $45 million to fund 15 new awards through the NSF Research Traineeship (NRT) program, with projects focusing on artificial intelligence, quantum, biotechnology and translational science.

These represent NRT’s most significant annual investment in institutions located in NSF Established Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) jurisdictions and extend the program’s reach to science, technology, engineering and math graduate students in 47 states, D.C. and the U.S. Virgin Islands, including two new states, Idaho and North Dakota.

“Students are the foundation for a strong STEM enterprise,” said NSF Assistant Director for STEM Education James L. Moore III. “Through effective, evidence-based graduate education closely aligned with the nation’s workforce priorities and research needs, NRT ensures that today’s STEM graduate students are prepared and equipped to become tomorrow’s STEM leaders and innovators.”

The NSF-sponsored projects will use critical and emerging technologies to develop the AI and quantum workforce to meet regional economic needs, strengthen health care systems, support rural agricultural and economic development, improve infrastructure, prepare bioengineers and much more.

This investment also marks the first time NSF has made awards through the NRT Institutional Partnership Pilot (NRT-IPP) program. NRT-IPP supports graduate student projects with high industry relevance through partnerships between non-R1 institutions, institutions with existing or completed NRT projects, and industry partners, including Apple, Clark Construction and Draper.

SANTA FE, New Mexico – If you live in Lincoln County and were affected by the severe storms, flooding and landslides that began June 23, you may be eligible for FEMA assistance for losses not covered by insurance.

If you have already applied with FEMA, a home inspection may be necessary to verify the damage. Information gathered during the inspection is one of several criteria used by FEMA to determine if applicants are approved for federal assistance. Within 10 days after you apply, a FEMA inspector may contact you to schedule an appointment. The call or text will probably come from an out-of-state phone number. 

Home Inspections: What to Expect

To be prepared for the visit, please have the following available: 

Photo identificationProof that you owned or occupied the house at the time of the disasterReceipts for home repairs or replacement of damaged itemsPictures of any damage that may now be repairedA copy of your insurance policy and settlement or denial letter if you’ve received one

The housing inspector will consider the structural soundness of the home, both inside and outside, and whether it is safe to live in and can be entered and exited safely. The inspection includes confirming that the electrical, gas, heat, plumbing and sewer/septic systems are all in working order.

All FEMA representatives carry photo identification. Inspectors will never ask for or accept money.
