Bringing distinction to the state of Indiana

Science can be intriguing, art can be beautiful, and great works of literature can be insightful. But a technology R&D organization should also give back some more tangible benefits to the state and nation. Part of the justification for PTI is that it will aid economic growth.

The taxpayers of Indiana and the US provide some of the money that drives PTI research and services—through contributions to the IU budget via state income taxes, and through federal taxes that support US grant-giving agencies.
