Biographical Note

Armour Research Foundation (ARF) was one of the first private, not-for-profit contract research laboratories in the United States. It was founded in 1936 by Armour Institute of Technology (AIT), and acquired by Illinois Institute of Technology in 1940 when IIT was created by the merger of AIT and Lewis Institute. The Armour Research Foundation of Illinois Institute of Technology, it was later reorganized as the IIT Research Institute (IITRI). Under all its iterations, the laboratory conducted research for commercial and government sources, expanding to an international operation and drew much of its staff from AIT and IIT alum and students.
