Advancing Evidence. Improving Lives.
About us
Since 1946, the American Institutes for Research (AIR) has been advancing evidence to evolve systems, improve lives, and ultimately create a better, more equitable world. We are a nonprofit research and technical assistance institution working to solve some of the most urgent challenges in the U.S. and around the world. Our experts in education, health, workforce, human services, and international development follow the evidence to find and apply solutions that will work. Our work helps policymakers make important decisions based on evidence, and we work with leaders, organizations, and communities to create more effective programs. We never stop digging to find what works and where we have more to learn.

Emerging evidence suggests that rising global temperatures could be linked to increases in conflict, including domestic violence. In a new article from the Council on Foreign Relations Think Global Health, AIR's Jessie Pinchoff and other #climate experts explore the relationship between extreme heat and the risk of violence in Mexico, and suggest solutions such as #MentalHealth support for young people, collaborative research across disciplines, heat action plans, and investment in urban green spaces.

Over the next 10 years, AIR #health experts will support the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services to implement and monitor a new model that focuses on integrated, coordinated, whole-person care for #Medicare and #Medicaid beneficiaries with mental illnesses or substance use disorders. The Innovation in Behavioral Health Model addresses not only patients' behavioral and physical health, but also health-related social needs such as access to housing, food, and transportation.

One way that school systems can support strong instruction is through programs that build teachers’ knowledge and skills—teacher professional learning programs. In 2018, we partnered with The Danielson Group and Learning Forward to develop, pilot, improve, and evaluate the Professional Learning with Impact (PLI) program. With the Framework for Teaching as the program’s foundation, PLI’s design centers teacher professional learning within existing teacher learning teams and included both workshops and individual coaching. The program had a positive impact on students’ ELA achievement. See what we learned about implementing and scaling this program during COVID-19. #WorldTeachersDay https://lnkd.in/gmaEqPUh
