2007-2008 Student Research Grant Program:
NMWRRI initiated the student research grant program in FY 2003. These student research grants were available to any full-time graduate or undergraduate student in any degree program at any of the state's 6 universities. These grants were limited to $5,000 and 1 year. Summaries of these projects are being developed. Their completion reports will also be provided here when available.
