AIR uses research as a catalyst for change that leads to safer communities, improved healthcare, healthier environments, and improved quality of life. We are a growing health policy research, communications, and information sciences group. Our clients and audiences include federal, state, and local governments; foundations; private healthcare providers; corporations; universities; media; and the general public.

Our health services and policy research group draws on a number of disciplines to design, implement and evaluate policies through both traditional research methods and technical assistance activities. Our award-winning team of health communicators has developed many successful public health campaigns to increase awareness and promote healthy behaviors among diverse populations. We also offer unique experience and expertise in Web site development, e-marketing services, dissemination of information, conference management and call-center work. We also routinely partner with our colleagues elsewhere in AIR to occur a broad range of services and experience.

Our greatest strength is the range and diversity of our technical expertise, creative talent, and our cultural, ethnic, and racial backgrounds.
