ARI-R2 is designed to support 21st century research and research training infrastructure in U.S. academic institutions and non-profit research organizations.
ARI-R2 will revitalize existing research facilities so they provide next-generation research infrastructure and facilitate the integration of researchers with shared resources such as remote instruments and research platforms, data repositories and national computing facilities.
Research facilities are shared space where sponsored and/or unsponsored research activities and research training take place. They may be “bricks and mortar,” mobile or virtual research space.
The foundation needs expertise in a wide range of fields to evaluate the proposals submitted to this competition. The three broad categories of expertise needed are:
- Expertise in a scientific, engineering or architecture field;
- Experience in managing large facilities and centers; or
- Expertise in computer networking.
It is not expected that individuals will have competence in all categories.
The merit review panels for this activity will be held during three weeks in October. Each panelist will be asked to commit up to three days to serve on a panel at NSF headquarters in Arlington, Va. Travel expenses, per diem and an honorarium will be provided for your services.
