Research Opportunities for Science Educators (ROSE) Program

Since 2021, UNM has partnered with the state's public education department to bring middle and high school science teachers to UNM for a full-time, hands-on summer experience working in an existing research group. Teachers will join ongoing projects and participate in discovery-based research with the goal of bringing their new ideas, tools, and enthusiasm back to their students around New Mexico.

This summer cohort welcomes 20 teachers from Albuquerque, Gadsden, Gallup, Las Vegas, Lovington, Santa Fe, Shiprock, and Zuni Pueblo.
