The Center for Advancing Research Impact in Society (ARIS) moved to an annual fee for membership model in 2023 to support the continued work of the center. The fee structure includes individual and organization memberships.

For many years, ARIS has been supported by funding from multiple sources including the U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF), private foundations, professional societies, and fees for trainings and events. As we enter the last year of our current grant, we will continue to diversify our funding model. We believe membership demonstrates the value of ARIS and will allow us to continue to provide valuable resources for our community.

Yes! Many ARIS resources will continue to be free including the Broader Impacts Toolkit.

One extra benefit from the 2023 Summit — if you registered for the full three-day Summit 2023, you are entitled to an ARIS membership that doesn’t expire until June 30, 2024. That’s an additional year of ARIS benefits free! And, if you have a membership, you are entitled to a reduced rate when registering for the 2024 Summit.
