A total of 71 member organizations are actively engaged in CII (RTs). In addition to formal team participation, many other members support research efforts through data submissions and by contributing Subject Matter Experts (SMEs) who provide case studies and interviewees.

While this represents strong engagement across the Institute, some member organizations are not currently involved in RTs. CII encourages all members to have at least one individual actively engaged in a research team to maximize the value of membership and contribute to industry advancement.

On average, each CII member organization has 2.5 individuals participating in RTs, highlighting a solid foundation of collaboration and knowledge-sharing across the network.

Thank you to each of these wonderful member volunteers. Let’s keep the momentum going! New teams are announced every February via CII eblasts, and all member organizations are invited to submit their nominees for joining RTs.
