ARL SINGLE PRINCIPAL INVESTIGATOR PROGRAMS Single ARL principal investigators from HBCUs/MIs can significantly enhance the research mission of their institutions. Successful single-PI efforts -- those that result in peer judgment of highquality research -- facilitate the identification of scientific leadership, scientific entrepreneurial talent, and inspirational skills that are critically needed at all institutions of higher learning.

Single-PI ARL funding has increased the capacity for providing research opportunities at HBCU/MI institutions, naturally benefitting URMs. The ARL resources provided to successful researchers -- those who achieve peer judgment of high-quality research -- have a direct impact on PI research programs, contributing to the development of the scientific workforce by offering training opportunities from the undergraduate to the postdoctoral level.

Partnership in Research Transition (PIRT) Targeted for HBCUs, these are topic-focused, near-transition-ready innovative research programs 3-5 years in duration; funded at approximately $400,000-$600,000 per year FIGURE 5.1 ARL programs that engage the university research community to focus on Army problems.

• As regards UARC participation, HBCU/MI funding is not substantial enough to create the strong and sustaining foundation needed to compete successfully for UARC projects year after year without ARL mentoring and interaction. • Without diligent management by ARL, program leaders may reallocate funding originally slated for HBCU/MI participants.

It is necessary for ARL to be proactive in securing the significant participation of HBCUs/MIs in multiyear cooperative agreements to ensure that these institutions have adequate funding and time to gain access to and procure equipment, support the completion of graduate student research, arrange for onsite or virtual internships with ARL laboratories or other laboratories, and develop the capacity to respond to ARL programmatic redirection of funded research tasks. As part of a proactive strategy, it is important that ARL consider the following: • Communicating a strategic vision for the program that aims to enhance the science and engineering education beyond just funding (e.g., internships, symposia)
