The New Mexico Quantum Hub Extension Award

NOW OPEN: The New Mexico Quantum Hub Extension Award

The New Mexico Quantum Hub Extension Award (NMQHEA) is a competitive, state-funded grant of up to $4,000,000 that allocates continuation funding for previously state-funded and state-designated Quantum Hubs in New Mexico. This funding is designed to support the State’s initial investment in stimulating quantum-driven economic development in New Mexico by ensuring previously awarded hubs have the resources necessary to complete and sustain their commitments and outcomes.

Eligible uses of funds include supplementing construction or facility delivery, addressing budget gaps in ongoing operations, and supporting any programmatic activities initiated under prior approval of the original award. All proposed uses must align directly with the scope and intent of the original contract. Award funds must go toward expanding upon the Quantum Hub’s physical infrastructure capacity in New Mexico.

TIO will be accepting applications now through April 24, 2026 at 5pm MDT.
