Everything about The Research Triangle Institute totally explained
The
Research Triangle Institute (RTI) is a non-profit research organization based in the
Research Triangle Park (RTP) of
North Carolina. RTI is the oldest tenant of this major research park, and the sister organization to the
Research Triangle Foundation. RTI has over 2,600 employees engaged in many distinct research areas. RTI describes its offerings as
innovative research and development and ... services in health and pharmaceuticals, advanced technology, survey and statistics, education and training, economic and social development, and the environment.
RTI has regularly received many
USA government contracts in reconstructing countries in governmental transition, generally helping to implement the
privatising of public institutions, especially in
Eastern Europe during the
1990s. In
2003 it was contracted by
USAID to help in reconstructing
Iraq, after the
2003 invasion. Specifically,
USAID contracted RTI to privatise water systems and provide education system reform in Iraq. The
National Institute on Drug Abuse has two contracts with RTI for, among other purposes, the manufacture and distribution of standardized
cannabis cigarettes.

USAID has partnered with RTI to conduct indoor residual spraying of
DDT in African countries to control
malaria.
Concerns about RTI
Rewriting Iraqi textbooks
RTI's contract for education system reform in
Iraq, via
Creative Associates International in Washington, D.C., caused controversy because RTI planned to rewrite Iraqi school textbooks.
