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.

Advancing #justice by dismantling structural #inequities 💭 AIR's Candace Hamilton Hester breaks it down: The Health Alliance for Violence Intervention Kaiser Permanente
Need some inspiration today? Watch and share this insightful video featuring Dr. Candace Hamilton Hester, a principal researcher at the American Institutes for Research (AIR). Dr. Hester's work tackles systemic social inequities and promotes safety, dignity, and the opportunity to thrive. Funding from the Kaiser Permanente Center for Gun Violence Research and Education will help Dr. Hester robustly evaluate the impact of the Coalition to Advance Public Safety (CAPS). CAPS is led by the Community Based Public Safety Collective, Cities United, The Health Alliance for Violence Intervention, and The National Institute for Criminal Justice Reform (NICJR) Justice Reform. The coalition works with mayors, community-based organizations, and leaders to scale up and bring greater cohesion to cities’ community violence intervention ecosystems, with the goal of reducing gun homicides and nonfatal shootings. Learn more about the Center’s 38 grantees working on gun violence prevention across 20+ states at https://lnkd.in/ed5nNeT8. #EndGunViolence #CommunityLedResearch
