DGR HAS MOVED!

The Division of Government Research (DGR) was established at UNM in 1946. DGR was originally part of the Department of Government (Political Science). DGR used to be an organization that conducted research related to governmental issues and published associated monographs.

Since 1975, DGR has focused primarily on conducting contract and grant-funded applied research projects and is now part of UNM's Institute for Applied Research Services (IARS) . DGR currently specializes in providing computer based data integration, data analysis, and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) services to government agencies and private companies within New Mexico and other states. In addition, DGR provides many UNM students with employment experience useful for their educational and professional development.

Although most of the projects DGR undertakes are public service oriented, DGR serves mainly as a consultant for government agencies that fund specific work. DGR is not a designated government agency responsible for making information publicly available unless specifically requested to do so by the government agency that is funding a project. Requests for information are forwarded to the responsible government agency. DGR does not have the authority or resources to release information without the consent and financial support of the government agency that has sponsored the work.

This WWW page is presented to provide background information about the interdisciplinary applied research activities at DGR. It is hoped that this presentation will be useful to other members of the UNM community, government agencies, and the public that are conducting similar work or need quick access to information.

All of the data in example graphic pages and maps represent information that is routinely released by government agencies for public use. Most have already been widely distributed as part of printed reports or used for special public meetings.

There are also links to the appropriate government agency's WWW facilities where more public information is available.

Information provided by this WWW page is routinely updated. There will be many more graphics pages, maps, PDFs, and data available as this resource develops.

 The Division of Government Research (DGR) is continuing to develop a web page for the New Mexico 2000 United States Census and other demographic data. This web page is part of DGR's public service function at UNM. It is intended primarily for the public and also other governmental GIS users. In general, public users do not have sophisticated GIS facilities. This web page will provide easy access to data in interactive form and also in a simple to use free GIS package (ESRI's ArcReader). More sophisticated GIS and statistical users that have their own facilities will be provided access to this data in ready-to-use formats that can be further customized to their needs (ArcView, ArcMap, and SAS datasets). This project (the CAAP - Census Aggregation and Accessibility Project) will be developed slowly as resources are available. Click here to view the CAAP.
