Southwest Research Institute, an independent, nonprofit, applied engineering and physical sciences research and development organization, is the United States's third largest applied science center, after Batelle and Stanford.
Over the years Southwest Research Institute has gained international recognition for its engines, fuels, and lubricants programs; its fire technology research laboratories are acclaimed among the foremost in the world; and it has done more pre-service and in-service inspection and evaluation of conventional and nuclear power plants than any other organization.
The institute and the foundation, together with the University of Texas Health Science Center at San Antonio and the University of Texas at San Antonio, compose an organization known as the Southwest Research Consortium, which facilitates cooperation in selected research programs, primarily in biotechnology.
