American Institutes for Research (AIR) has been advancing data to expand systems, improve lives, and ultimately create a better, more equitable world.  They are a nonprofit research and technical assistance organization working to solve some of the most urgent challenges in the U.S. and around the world. They're experts in education, health, workforce, human services, and international development follow the evidence to find and apply solutions that will work.

AIR's work helps policymakers make important decisions based on evidence, and they work with leaders, organizations, and communities to create more effective programs. They never stop searching to find what works and where there's more to learn.

What the American Institutes for Research says about their work:

"The American Institutes for Research (AIR) is a nonpartisan, not-for-profit organization that conducts behavioral and social science research and delivers technical assistance to solve some of the most urgent challenges in the U.S. and around the world. We do this work because when we look to the future, we see opportunities to close gaps that are rooted in injustice. At AIR, we know that equity begins with systems that work for everyone, so we lead with expertise, follow the evidence, and never stop drawing new connections to build a better, more equitable world.
