#NC #Triangle people:

In the #RTP area, Research Triangle Institute (#RTI) employs around 1000 people (with a total employee count of around 6000); around 70% of its funding is from public-sector projects. I don't have a breakdown of which entities fund what.

#FHI360 employs around 450 people locally, with a total employee count of around 4500. Fully 67% of its 2024 funding was from #USAID, per its annual report: https://www.fhi360.org/annual-reports/report-2024/

This, of course, on top of all the NIH-funded medical research taking place across the Triangle, as well as the huge #EPA campus in RTP.
