The Center for Advancing Research Impact in Society seeks to amplify the impacts of research for the benefit of society. ARIS serves as a hub for RI expertise and advances RI scholarship by building and stewarding a growing field of practice and community of professionals. ARIS (OIA - 1810732, OIA - 2334906) supports investigators from diverse fields and partners with the U.S. National Science Foundation and other U.S.-based and international organizations aligned to ARIS’s vision to prioritize research impacts for societal benefit.
To accomplish this multifaceted mission, ARIS has several major strategic initiatives in progress, including the Program to Enhance Organizational Research Impact Capacity (ORIC), the Broader Impacts Certification & MicroCredential program, and the BI Toolkit. ARIS continues to grow and develop, reaching more institutions and organizations with the boost needed to raise the value and understanding of broader impacts, while hosting international convenings to inform NSF and others of the policy and funding needs for this important work.
