The ARI-R² Program's goals are to:
- Update research facilities at institutions of higher education (including graduate and undergraduate institutions, among which are included community colleges) and other, non-profit research organizations (e.g., independent research museums, independent research laboratories, and research consortia) in order to support research that can address the challenges of the 21st century.
- Enable academic departments, disciplinary and cross-disciplinary units, or multi-organization consortia to renovate research facilities through the addition or augmentation of cyberinfrastructure, other than general-purpose computing systems or data storage systems, to create environments that enhance research and integrate research with education.
- Improve access to and increase use of next-generation research facilities for researchers, educators and students.
- Assist research organizations, including those that have historically received limited Federal research and development funds, to improve their science and engineering research environments.
ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT
The National Science Foundation (NSF) has prepared an Environmental Assessment (EA) to assess the potential impacts on the human environment of ten projects being considered for funding under the Academic Research Infrastructure: Recovery and Reinvestment (ARI-R2) program. These proposed projects, if approved, would be funded under American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA).
This EA was prepared pursuant to the requirements of the National Environmental Policy Act of 1969, (NEPA), the President’s Council on Environmental Quality regulations implementing NEPA at 40 CFR 1500-1508) and NSF’s regulations implementing NEPA at 45 CFR 640.
