ORI investigators can also collaborate with colleagues at two related organizations whose work is complementary to ORI's: Influents Innovations and ORI Community & Evaluation Services (ORI-CES). These organizations provide multiple avenues for applied research, product development, program evaluation, and community-based services.
Influents Innovations (formerly Oregon Research Behavioral Intervention Strategies) is a for-profit company whose mission is to apply the behavioral sciences to the improvement of human well-being through the development and commercialization of evidence-based products and programs directed at health care and education.
ORI-CES is a non-profit organization that operates in close association and cooperation with ORI, dedicated to improving individual and community health and well-being through providing evaluation and intervention services to the public and private sectors.
