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.

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 enough,” says RTI’s Katherine Karriker-Jaffe.
The findings highlight an opportunity to connect screening with early intervention and support.

How can opioid treatment programs improve care when important patient outcomes aren’t always visible?
Programs often don’t know when patients visit an emergency department or are hospitalized after beginning care. A new quality measure developed by RTI researchers helps close ese events within 90 days of starting care.
The measure creates a way to compare outcomes across programs and better understand where additional patient support may be needed.

Our roots in North Carolina drive our commitment to helping communities across the state prepare for the future.
After Hurricane Helene, RTI researchers spoke with people across eight of the hardest-hit North Carolina counties to understand a critical question: Why didn’t phic flooding always translate into action?
Their experiences revealed important lessons about how people perceive risk, how local context shapes decisions and how communities support one another when disaster strikes. These insights can help strengthen risk communication and preparedness across North Carolina.

More complex models do not automatically produce better answers.
Next week, RTI scientist Erin Huber will explore how rigorous design, characterization, and appropriate biological complexity can improve confidence in in vitro results and strengthen their relevance for cs include:
📋 Primary human respiratory models
📋 Biological variability and technical noise
📋 Exposure realism and model design
📋 Balancing complexity, reproducibility, and interpretability
The discussion focuses on a central idea, that human relevance is a design objective, not a label.
