The “New Mexico IDeA Network for Biomedical Research Excellence” is a statewide network that encourages the development of innovative research environments for students engaging health initiatives, and basic, clinical, and translational research in New Mexico. The program envisions a future in which this network of scientists from NM institutions are fully competitive for NIH funding mechanisms, engaged in health-related research and collaborations at the state, regional and national level, and using the individual strengths of the partnering academic institutions to implement effective educational strategies to capture this diversity and train the current and future generations of students for entering the workforce in multiple career pathways.
