From a candy-coated shell that melts in your mouth to global health security, warfighter protection to cancer treatments, MRIGlobal has been solving the world’s toughest research challenges for more than 70 years.

Founded in 1944, MRIGlobal is an independent research organization that uses science and technology to create solutions for a safer, healthier, more sustainable world. 

The biggest driver of our success is our employees. No matter their role, they are dedicated to delivering results to our clients that are consistent, relevant, and recent. Scientific integrity is at the heart of everything we do. Because of that, we consistently provide only the best scientific and technical solutions.

MRIGlobal performs contract research and development, test and evaluation, and operations and management services for government and industry. This includes:

- National Defense and Security
- Global Health
- Energy and the Environment
- Agriculture and Food Safety
- Transportation Research

Headquartered in Kansas City, MO, MRIGlobal is the internationally acclaimed “go to” center for applied research and technology development. Regional offices are also in Virginia, Maryland, and Florida. 

In addition to our own labs, MRIGlobal operates research facilities for the Department of Energy and the Department of Defense. And we are one of only two entities in the Alliance for Sustainable Energy, LLC, which manages and operates the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL) in Golden, CO, for the Department of Energy. We've managed NREL since its beginning in 1977.

MRIGlobal is proud to be a community leader who helps build stronger communities through business outreach, civic and community projects, educational outreach, and charities. Community participation and stewardship are prized values, and they are lived daily through highly-engaged staff dedicated to solving the tough challenges that might intimidate others.
