Arrowhead Center at New Mexico State University will receive $1 million in funding from the U.S. Department of Energy to encourage the development and commercialization of new high-tech clean technologies in New Mexico, the DOE announced Friday.
The project, an expansion of the New Mexico Clean Energy Resilience and Growth, or NM CERG, Cluster at Arrowhead Center is in collaboration with the New Mexico Economic Development Department, Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories.
The new funding builds on work to develop the initial NM CERG cluster and run a hybrid accelerator for New Mexico clean-tech businesses, EnergySprint + SBIR (Small Business Innovation Research). The accelerator is being funded through a $50,000 competition prize the DOE’s Energy Program for Innovation Clusters, or EPIC, awarded to Arrowhead Center last year.

SANTA FE - Appointments to New Mexico s citizen redistricting committee were supposed to give due regard to geographic and cultural diversity under legislation passed this year.
But six of the seven appointees to the panel live in Albuquerque, and the other is from Belen.
All but one are men.
New Mexico s redistricting group will also feature a heavy concentration of people with a background in politics, including two former Democratic state senators and a former chairman of the state Republican Party.
The committee took shape over the last few days through a series of appointments by the State Ethics Commission and legislative leaders.
New Mexico Lottery Scholarship Covers Full Tuition
By
New Mexico Higher Education Department officials announced last week that a state lottery scholarship will cover full tuition for in-state students at public universities or tribal colleges this upcoming academic year. It will be the first time in six years that the lottery will cover full tuition; it paid the full cost of tuition for eligible students from 1996 to 2015.
“Inability to afford the rising cost of a college education continues to be a barrier for too many students to pursuing degrees that will benefit not only themselves, but our state overall,” department secretary Stephanie Rodriguez said in a press release.
