Welcome to the Advanced Research Institute in Geriatric Mental Health (ARI) website, a resource for the sharing of information and resources for  ARI applicants and for both current and past ARI Scholars.

ARI is a national mentoring program designed to help new investigators achieve their first R01 funding and assume the responsibilities of independent scientists. The program seeks to increase the number of independent investigators conducting translational, interventions and services research in geriatric mental health.  These aims contribute to ARI’s overarching mission to reduce the burden of mental disorders in late life.  ARI is supported by a grant to Dartmouth College from the National Institute of Mental Health (NIMH; R25 MH068502; PI: Martha L. Bruce).

Please examine the ARI Overview, FAQs, Calendar and Application sections of this site for more information.

You can access ARI program information from anywhere on the website from the "Advanced Research Institute" drop down menu at the top of the page.

Current Scholars:

Keep up to date with the ARI Calendar.

Don't forget that you are expected to convene at least one “virtual” meeting (webinar) of mentors and consultants. These webinars are best timed if you have made substantial revisions to your grant application, identified significant questions needing the input of different experts, or have received pink sheets following an NIH review. Please work with your ARI mentor to decide when a webinar would be most useful, and contact researchinstitutes@hitchcock.org for scheduling and logistics.
