The Northeast-Midwest Institute
A non-profit policy center, the institute engages in research and education to promote the region's economic development and to enhance the quality of its environmental and human resources. The institute has been at the forefront of brownfield policy development and information dissemination since the early 1990s.

The Technology Innovation Office (TIO)
TIO advocates more effective, less costly approaches to assess and clean up contaminated waste sites, soil, and groundwater. TIO's focus includes brownfield sites, as well as Superfund sites, corrective action sites under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act, underground storage tank clean-ups, and state voluntary clean-up programs.
