RTI International

A new chapter for innovation in North Carolina.

The RTI Pilot Xcelerator was built for innovators who are ready to prove, not just pitch.

As RTI President and CEO Tim Gabel shared at the grand opening, "Discovery alone is not enough. The value of science is fully realized when it's applied, adopted and brought to scale."

Watch highlights from the ribbon cutting and see how the RTI Pilot Xcelerator is helping transform breakthrough technologies into real-world impact.

🍬 What does it take to change the colors in our favorite candy?

This National Candy Day, we’re looking beyond the candy aisle to the agriculture, ingredient sourcing and manufacturing behind natural food colors.

In Candy & Snack TODAY, RTI’s Micaela Hayes Cox, PhD and Daniel Lapidus explore why the transition takes more than a new formulation, it requires investment and coordination across the food supply chain.

Now, join them live to explore what comes next.

Our LinkedIn Live, Beyond Reformulation: Shaping the Future of Food Color Innovation, brings together experts from RTI and Victus Ars to discuss practical challenges and opportunities for innovation.

Asking about alcohol use is a starting point. What happens next matters.

A new RTI-led study found that only 3.5% of adults reporting heavy drinking received advice from a health care provider to reduce their consumption.

“Alcohol screening is an important first step, but screening alone is not enough,” says RTI’s Katherine Karriker-Jaffe.

The findings highlight an opportunity to connect screening with early intervention and support.

How do we inspire the next generation of environmental scientists? Start by giving students real-world problems to investigate.

New, standards-aligned lessons from RTI bring drinking water research and data into K–12 classrooms, helping students see how science can be used to understand water quality and protect public health.

Created with environmental scientists, STEM education experts and classroom teachers, the lessons range from short activities to multi-day projects that build inquiry, critical-thinking and problem-solving skills.
