In 2003, RTI broadened its services as well as its international reach. We worked in new locations, engaged new clients, and added 235 new staff members. The 2003 Annual Report describes the exciting and challenging projects and accomplishments of 2003 that helped us fulfill our mission to improve the human condition.

In 2004, RTI researchers provided solutions to complex environmental problems, continued to search for promising new medicines, helped countries create better education and local governance systems, and made plans to spin off a portion of our thermoelectrics group to commercialize a promising new technology.

The impact of RTI International’s research -- from our efforts to discover new medicines and develop new energy sources to our assistance in promoting democratic governance -- is felt around the globe. Our annual report highlights some of our most significant achievements during 2005, describing how we are improving the human condition by turning knowledge into practice.

For more than 48 years, RTI International has been committed to making a positive impact in the world by conducting social and scientific research that improves the human condition. In 2006, we continued that tradition though our implementation of projects in more than 40 countries and in the United States.

Knowledge and science are one and the same. Through nearly 50 years of experience and objective research, RTI has honed its social, economic, statistical, chemical, biological, environmental, electronic, and engineering knowledge and applied that knowledge to solve problems and generate information that drives decisions, policies, and practices around the globe.

Since our founding in 1958, thousands of dedicated RTI staff members have pledged themselves to our mission of conducting research and providing technical services that improve the human condition.

This year, we are proudly celebrating 50 years of turning knowledge into practice.

We owe every achievement in FY2008 to the teamwork and technical innovation of our staff, and we honor their dedication to the pursuit of independent inquiry, objectivity, and excellence across an extraordinary range of projects.
