The New Mexico Small Business Assistance Program leverages the talent and other resources of federal labs in our state to benefit New Mexico small businesses. “At no cost to the business, small businesses with a technical challenge can seek assistance from lab scientists or engineers for projects that require testing, design consultation and access to special equipment or facilities.” Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratories are accepting proposals January 14th through February 4th.
