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.
