Consortium Resources and AdministrationMajor external sponsors of the Consortium currently are the International Division of the National Science Foundation and Los Alamos National Laboratory. The latter awarded a substantial contract to the Consortium in 2001 and continued it at the same level for a total period of 3 years. The NSF awarded first a grant to hold a Panamerican Advanced Study Institute in Argentina in 2002 and then a major grant for the activities of the Consortium for the period 2003-09.
Other agencies that have supported the Consortium financially are The United States-Mexico Foundation for Science and the Office of Naval Research.
Various departments and centers within UNM have lent the Consortium financial and other support from its very conception, prominent among them being the Center for Advanced Studies (CAS) and the departments of Chemistry and Physics/Astronomy. Consortium activities involve five Departments of the College of Arts and Sciences of UNM (Biology, Chemistry, Earth and Planetary Sciences, Mathematics and Statistics, and Physics and Astronomy).
The Consortium Director is advised regarding directions of the Consortium by a Distinguished External Advisory Panel of internationally acclaimed scientists from outside UNM, and an Internal Advisory Committee consisting of UNM faculty: Evangelos Coutsias (Mathematics and Statistics), Mansoor Sheik-Bahae (Physics and Astronomy), David Keller (Chemistry), Kevin Malloy (Engineering), Bruce Milne (Biology Department), Mousumi Roy (Earth and Planetary Science).
