**NEW** Funding and technical assistance for new research clusters
In order to prepare our faculty to engage with funders and successfully approach foundations, ARI is initiating a program of directed support for new faculty-led research clusters. ARI research clusters will bring together faculty and graduate students with shared research interests from different fields and departments/programs to foster the development of shared, interdisciplinary, and/or community-engaged research agendas. Convened by individuals from at least two departments/programs, the research clusters will be expected to meet regularly (at least two times a quarter) during the academic year to present work in progress, discuss current scholarship and practice, and/or plan and implement common research projects. Please note that this program is dedicated to supporting *new* research explorations that can serve as incubators for larger projects in the future. Funding is intended to support the exploration of innovative ideas and collaborations that can grow into self-sustaining programs. Award amount is $5,000 per year, renewable for up to three years. Technical assistance will be provided by ARI staff. Contact Dr. Holly Unruh, ARI Executive Director to discuss this opportunity.
