FIU’s Applied Research Center (ARC) is to advance the research and academic mission of the University. ARC’s continued focus is to solve real-world problems through multi-disciplinary research collaborations within the University's increasingly talented applied and basic research units. It is uniquely structured and staffed to allow for free-flowing exchange of ideas between the University's applied researchers, ac ademia, government, private sector and industry partners.
ARC’s on-going vision is to be the leading international university-based applied research institution providing value-driven, real-world solutions; which will continue to enable FIU to acquire, manage, and execute educationally relevant and economically sound research programs. That vision is based on the ARC's core values of respect for the environment, health and safety of all individuals, creativity and innovation, service excellence, and leadership and accountability.
ARC is organized into three core research units: Environment, Energy, and Security and Development. Under the leadership of its Executive Director, the Center reports to FIU’s Office of Sponsored Research Administration. An External Advisory Board, encompassing leaders from the private and public sectors, participates actively in the ARC's growth and development. The FIU-ARC Research Council, a team of University deans, executives and faculty guide the development of the ARC's programs and projects.
