research institution
Where discoveries happen
A research institution is an organization dedicated to systematic investigation and study, typically in scientific, academic, or policy fields.
Universities, government laboratories, and think tanks all qualify: The research institution published findings on climate change.
Such institutions employ scholars and scientists, provide facilities and funding, and generate knowledge through original inquiry rather than teaching or commerce alone.
