Research Channel: One Bright Idea After Another

Research Channel is a consortium of research universities and corporate research divisions dedicated to broadening the access to and appreciation of our individual and collective activities, ideas, and opportunities in basic and applied research.

One of the major goals of Research Channel is to use program content creation and manipulation processes as testing medium for analog and digital broadcast and on-demand multimedia offerings, thus providing an unusual opportunity to experiment with new methods of distribution and interaction on a global basis.

For our many viewers on cable, direct broadcast satellite, and the Internet, Research Channel is the C-SPAN of scientific and medical research.
