The Association of Independent Research Institutes (AIRI)
is a nationwide
association of ninety-one (91) independent,
not-for-profit research institutes. These institutes are an
integral part of the United States research community.
Their scientists, who include nine Nobel laureates, perform
outstanding research as judged by peers and funding agencies, and they train
both graduate and postdoctoral students. These institutions, an important
complement to university-based research, provide an environment that many
scientists find preferable and more productive.
