The mission of the Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) is to advance innovation and discovery. The core of this mission is the research, scholarship, and creative works of UNM faculty. The OVPR seeks to facilitate these activities, resulting in new knowledge and applications of value to academic communities and the public.
As the University of New Mexico continues to work to "Bring back the Pack", resumption of curtailed research operations will occur in alignment with applicable state, national, and regional guidelines and as determined by university leadership. Until all restrictions are lifted, only personnel with a need to access physical locations to advance research and creative works should be on-site. These guidelines are in addition to the protocols published in Bringing Back the Pack (https://bringbackthepack.unm.edu/worksite-protocols/index.html), released by the UNM Office of President (5/22/2020).
Additional links to resources and support for UNM researchers can be found below, and will be updated as necessary.

In new research, authored by University of New Mexico graduate student Tony Gargano and scientists from UNM's Center for Stable Isotopes, in collaboration with scientists from NASA’s Johnson Space Center, published today in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences (PNAS) titled Chlorine isotope composition and halogen contents of Apollo-return samples, researchers focused on chemical analyses of halogens, or the highly reactive elements F, Cl, Br, and I (fluorine, chlorine, bromine, and iodine) and found that lunar materials are exceptionally depleted in these elements, with unusually high amounts of the heavy form (stable isotope) of chlorine, which they explain as a result from the Moon-forming Giant Impact.
Now, scientists from The University of New Mexico and the Autonomous University of Madrid (UAM) in Spain have published a new study that they say could contribute to faster and more effective testing for viruses like SARS-CoV-2.
