To what extent are professional activities (conferences, publications, workshops) and continuing education supported/encouraged?
A. ARI has two types of publishing, internal and external. Internal publishing includes research notes and technical reports available through a military database. Everyone is expected and encouraged to publish research internally based on the work they do. External publishing, i.e., journal publications, is encouraged and supported, but not required for continued employment. Some degree of conference attendance is encouraged for topics consistent with your research area. Continuing education is strongly supported. Everyone is required to complete an Individual Development Plan that outlines your development goals and means for achieving them, including conference attendance.
