  4. Get instant access to your colleagues contact information!  Look up your colleagues from across the country and get their phone and email.  You can also look up members by their position at their institute (i.e. finance, development, IT, research, etc.).

  5. Get instant performance benchmarks! One of the most popular benefits of an AIRI Membership is the compilation of performance benchmarking from member institutions. You can, on a confidential basis, submit your institution’s data for a particular year.  This survey is designed to provide a compilation of over two dozen key performance metrics that can be utilized to gauge your institute’s performance compared to industry means, medians and quartiles for each year you submit. After you submit even a portion of the requested data you can receive some immediate results at the push of a button.

  6. Get imperative links! There is also available useful links to the Federal Agencies, OMB regulations, other research associations, and list serves of Human Resource, Development, and Finance representatives at numerous AIRI members.

  7. Look up archival information from AIRI Annual Meetings! Ever wanted to look up a program or a presentation from a past annual meeting? Well you can look up past annual meetings as far back as 2000.

  8. Sample Policies and Forms! Here you have access to a repository of samples from a number of institutes.  You can also use these as best practices ideas for refinement or development of internal policies and practices.

  9. Coming Soon! As we continue to enhance your member benefits, we continually add new features and information at airi.org. Look for more new features in the coming year.
