History & Mission

In 2020, ARLIS launched the Research for Intelligence & Security Challenges (RISC) initiative to help fill the deficit of government employees needed to address today’s intelligence and security challenges, particularly those with training in Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) fields and rigorous research-driven analysis. The ARLIS RISC program provides a pipeline of student talent at both graduate and undergraduate levels, providing students an opportunity to work on real-world problems within ARLIS focus areas.
