Research

TURI’s research is driven by the needs of Massachusetts industry. Each year, we solicit input from Massachusetts companies about their specific research opportunities to reduce the use of toxic chemicals. 

We award grants to UMass Lowell professors that fund projects identifying safer and effective alternatives for Massachusetts industry. Review the research reports.
