(He/Him)
At RTI, we are incredibly proud of our 65-year history of improving the human condition. But if there's one thing we understand, it's that we don't work alone. We pursue purposeful partnerships that advance science and help people, communities, and our planet thrive.
For Science
Founded on the talent of North Carolina's great research universities, RTI has always centered its work on scientific advancement. Our experts are thought leaders and proponents of open science. Their insights bring a sense of purpose to our projects in social and laboratory sciences, engineering, and international development.
For People
Our projects include improving global learning outcomes, empowering innovation in biomedical research and ensuring classrooms are free of hazards.
For Communities
Our purpose extends to improving the human condition on a wide scale, through projects that reach entire populations or regions. We are strengthening agriculture across Ethiopia, building a worldwide network of infectious disease scientists, preventing opioid overdoses in vulnerable communities, and studying what helps all children thrive.
For The Planet
The great challenge of the 21st century is protecting the planet we all share. Sustainability is a common purpose across RTI, as we work to unlock the potential of green energy sources and preserve natural resources such as water and wildlife.
