research institutes
Academic investigation facilities
Research institutes are organizations dedicated to systematic investigation and study, typically focusing on specific fields like science, medicine, policy, or technology.
Unlike universities, their primary mission is research rather than teaching, though many employ scholars and host graduate students.
They may be government-funded, privately endowed, or corporate: the National Institutes of Health, the Brookings Institution, Bell Labs in its heyday.
