American Institutes for Research

Since 1946, the American Institutes for Research (AIR) has been advancing evidence to evolve systems, improve lives, and ultimately create a better, more equitable world.

We are a nonprofit research and technical assistance institution working to solve some of the most urgent challenges in the U.S. and around the world. 

Our experts in education, health, workforce, human services, and international development follow the evidence to find and apply solutions that will work.

Our work helps policymakers make important decisions based on evidence, and we work with leaders, organizations, and communities to create more effective programs. We never stop digging to find what works and where we have more to learn.
