Research Centers Directory provides comprehensive contact information, as well as details about the programs, staffing, publications, and activities on about 16,000 research centers, laboratories, institutes, think tanks, and experiment stations.
Features & Benefits
For a broader perspective to the information, entries are organized under five broader categories: Life Sciences, Physical Sciences and Engineering, Private and Public Policy and Affairs, Social and Cultural Studies, and Multidisciplinary and Research Coordinating Centers.
Four indexes provide several points of access to the information.
The indexes are a subject index, geographic index, personal name index, and master index.
Nearly 10,000 subject categories are represented, including topics frequently seen in the news, such as climate change, biomedicine, sustainability, and social change.
