Program accomplishments

  • The Global ARC is helping communities use science and technology to address their concerns. The Global ARC creates demonstration models that display how science and technology, contributed by universities, can be brought to bear to address neighborhood challenges identified and defined by residents experiencing those challenges. These models become living laboratories for building healthy communities. In order to build these models, all residents must have an active voice in the decision making that impacts their lives. Therefore the Global ARC assists various segments of the community, whose voices are not included in decision making processes, to become organized and actively engaged.
