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.
