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.

Benjamin Salfeld is not only the newest member of our policy team, he's also a former AIR intern ✨ In celebration of #NationalInternDay, Ben reflects on how the #intern life prepared him for his full-time role: "My intern experience at AIR gave me clear job expectations and the flexibility to leverage my judgement and strengths, while also providing the one-on-one support I needed to build my confidence and skills. I learned to ask for constructive feedback, a skill I still use in my full-time position." What did you take away from your time as an intern? Any wisdoms you'd offer to current interns? Drop them in the comments!

Ensuring the availability of essential medicines in Kenya requires a reliable and transparent #health supply chain. Afya Uwazi, which means "transparency in health" in Swahili, is a five-year AIR and USAID initiative that monitors supply chains from central warehouses to health facilities in remote areas. We work with pharmacy staff, nurses, and health facility managers to ensure that medicine and medical supplies arrive intact and in a timely manner, ready to be distributed to the people who need them. https://lnkd.in/g8XfA_8j
