The current report summarizes the 2018 findings of the Panel on Review of Extramural Basic Research at the Army Research Laboratory, which reviewed the programs at the ARO's ISD. Over the 2019-2020 period the National Academies is scheduled to conduct reviews of the ARO's Physical Sciences Directorate's programs in physics, chemistry, and life sciences and its Engineering Sciences Directorate's programs in mechanical sciences, electronics, materials science, and earth sciences.

Across the three divisions, ISD currently funds 580 projects with a budget of $108 million -- $22.3 million core funding and $85.7 million leveraged funding from sources that include the Multidisciplinary University Research Initiatives program, the Presidential Early Career Awards for Scientists and Engineers, the Defense University Research Instrumentation Program, the Minority Institutions Program, the Small Business Innovation Research program, the Small Business Technology Transfer program, and other Army and Department of Defense (DoD) sources.

Given the necessarily nonexhaustive nature of the review process, the omission of mention of any particular program or project should not be interpreted as a negative reflection on the omitted program or project. The panel's goal was to portray an overall impression of the ARO programs in information sciences while preserving useful mention of suggestions specific to programs that the panel considered to be of special note within the set of those examined.
