About SRIC

Throughout its history, Southwest Research and Information Center (SRIC) has strived to play a unique role among nonprofit, public-interest organizations active in New Mexico and the Southwest. That role has stressed providing accurate information and analysis that people and community groups can use to influence decisions that directly affect them. SRIC's community-sensitive technical assistance services are the reason that individuals and groups continue to seek out the Center's staff on a wide range of environmental and resource development issues. SRIC networks with dozens of groups throughout the nation on various issues, and staff are widely recognized as policy experts on nuclear wastes, uranium, and community engagement.

The primary issues that SRIC works on are multi-generational, multi-faceted problems. Long-time professional staff collectively have more than 100 years experience with the organization, reflecting their commitment to the issues and to the affected communities.  SRIC is also looking to the future, as five younger professional staff have joined in the organization in recent years, continuing some existing projects, and expanding on our work with communities.
