Title
Universities Research Association, Inc.
Description
Universities Research Association (URA) is a consortium of 90 leading research-oriented universities primarily in the United States, with members also in Canada, Japan, and Italy.
At the behest of President Lyndon Johnson's Science Advisory Committee and the National Academy of Sciences, the not-for-profit URA corporation was founded in 1965 for management and operation of research facilities in the national interest. Presidents of participating universities organized their scientific and administrative talent toward this end, within the URA governing structure.
URA's charter is "...to acquire, plan, construct, and operate machines, laboratories, and other facilities, under contract with the Government of the United States or otherwise, for research, development and education in the physical and biological sciences... and to educate and train technical, research and student personnel in said sciences."
