What research is done in Santa Fe?

Papers authored at Santa Fe's institutions — Santa Fe Institute, Institute of American Indian Arts, School for Advanced Research — with the Prism stance layer.

Summary

Local research has a commanding anchor: the Santa Fe Institute accounts for 518 of 637 papers in the partial research data. The work leans toward breakthrough and promising framing, with neuroscience, ecology and E. coli among the clearest opportunity areas.

WATCH Watch whether neuroscience and ecology opportunities translate into sustained local programs.
Research outlook for Santa Fe

What the papers — written in the city and about it — point to, split by the Prism stance layer: work that reads promising versus work that flags problems or urges caution.
