This can also appear together on the same sheet with the background abbreviation "IITRI" (or "iiTRi").〕〔“IIT Research Center" appears on one of the recipient address pages (p. 23) in Rome, New York on the lower right side of the Gama; et al. (2004) reference.〕 is a high-technology scientific research organization and applied research laboratory located in Chicago, Illinois. Previously known as the Armour Research Foundation,〔Zerlaut; et al. (1964), p. 1 (Technical Letter Report).〕〔Weil & Daniel (1964), p. 268 (journal article).〕〔Actual letter stationery in the period notes in its header "IIT Research Institute" as the primary letterhead first line. The second line underneath has the name "Formerly Armour Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology". Both lines are in upper case block type with address, etc. information below as the third line. The left of the letterhead has an IITRI upended rectangular box with five straight non-parallel intersecting lines with a dark field, and the letters IITRI in caps at the box bottom in its own white background field (the second "I" and the "R" being subscript slightly to the rest of the letters). For example, see the Zerlaut; et al. (1964) ref. Additionally, some journal articles of the transition period, particularly for author information, show "IIT Research Institute (formerly Armour Research Foundation)". For example, see the Weil & Daniel (1964) ref.〕 the IITRI is an independent corporation that operates collaboratively with the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT) and the U.S. Government. ==History of IITRI== IITRI was formed in 1936〔Corporation File Report, Illinois Secretary of State.〕〔Incorporation date shows as 1936 April 06, which is the original date of the Armour Research Foundation. The file name is currently under the entity of IIT Research Institute, which would have been done by filing a change of name as an amendment to the articles of incorporation at a later date, thus allowing retention of the original Armour incorporation date.〕 as the Armour Research Foundation (ARF), and was renamed IITRI in 1963. Initially, ARF was formed to support the research endeavors of faculty members from the Armour Institute of Technology, predecessor to the Illinois Institute of Technology (IIT). IITRI is headquartered on the IIT campus in Chicago, but operates as an independent, not-for-profit research organization.〔 Between its founding in 1936 and 2000, IITRI developed research operations in approximately two dozen locations〔IIT 2003 Annual Report on Research, p. 23.〕 across the United States. The IITRI staff grew to approximately 1700 employees who performed research and development programs with an annual research budget exceeding $200 M per year. Historically, as a major national science research center, work involved both unclassified and classified (secret) research. In 2002, IITRI became entirely focused on the life sciences. All other science and engineering divisions were spun off into Alion Science and Technology,〔IIT 2003 Annual Report on Research, p. 21.〕 a separate employee-owned corporation. Since 2002, research at IITRI has been entirely focused on biomedical research,〔 with particular emphasis on pre-clinical toxicology,〔 safety evaluations, and drug discovery and development. In 2006, IITRI formed Technology Research, Inc. (TRI), as a wholly owned subsidiary in which research programs that fall outside of IITRI's not-for-profit charter can be conducted. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「IIT Research Institute」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
