The Middle East remains one of the most volatile areas in the world. MRIGlobal is a national leader in
supporting U.S. troops in the Mideast with real-time research capabilities for testing materials of interest
for the presence of harmful weapon materials. Over the past decade, our scientists and engineers have
designed, constructed, deployed, staffed, and maintained in-theater facilities equipped to provide state-ofthe-art tools and methods.
This past year, MRIGlobal wrapped up a multi-year project for the U.S. Government that involved quickly
analyzing large numbers of samples using wet chemistry, spectrometry, spectroscopy, and other methods.

Cancer is a leading cause of death around the world. Each year 12.7 million people discover they have cancer, and 7.6 million people die from the disease.
Research plays an important role in helping doctors and patients increase the survival rate for many cancers. Scientists around the world turn to the National Cancer Institute’s Centralized Chemopreventive
Agent Repository when conducting important, ground-breaking research. This year MRIGlobal will begin
providing services for this Repository, including acquisition, storage, management, analysis, and delivery of
new cancer drug products.
For years MRIGlobal has operated repositories for industrial and government clients, such as NCI’s
Chemical Carcinogen Reference Standard Repository, which served such distinguished organizations as
Johns Hopkins School of Medicine, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Korea Institute of Science and Technology, and Finnish Food Safety Authority.

Using our history in R&D work as a springboard for managing more complex projects, MRIGlobal has undertaken several large programs in recent years that integrate science with engineering.
For these large, integrated projects, MRIGlobal uses a systems engineering process that has been certified
to meet the standards of ISO 9001:2008. We are using this process on our Product Director Test Equipment
Strategy and Support (PD TESS)-sponsored programs, including the Individual Protection Ensemble (IPE)
Mannequin System and the Dugway Proving Ground (DPG) Test Grid Retrofit. And we adapted our process
to support several mobile laboratory design, construction, and maintenance projects.
Our systems engineering process also is being used on the High Containment Facility (HCF) project for
PD TESS at the Edgewood Chemical Biological Center (ECBC). The project, which involves designing and
building a facility that will be used for testing highly toxic chemical agent threats, recently broke ground.

MRIGlobal has supported the Defense Threat Reduction Agency’s (DTRA) biological threat reduction
program for more than 10 years. Most recently MRIGlobal is supporting DTRA objectives in Kazakhstan to
improve disease surveillance capabilities and enhance biosafety and biosecurity practices. In Kazakhstan, a
multi-disciplinary team from MRIGlobal is partnered with prime contractor AECOM.
One key activity in the program includes the construction and startup of a Central Reference Laboratory that will support an international effort to detect, diagnose, and respond to natural and bioterrorist
infectious disease outbreaks. The Central Reference Laboratory will increase the security of the existing
Kazakhstani collections of Especially Dangerous Pathogens and strengthen the scientific capabilities of
the Kazakhstani and Central Asia scientists. This facility will be owned and operated by the Republic of
Kazakhstan.
MRIGlobal has conducted similar work in support of the Nunn-Lugar cooperative threat reduction program
in other former Soviet states, including Georgia and Uzbekistan.

With its industrial manufacturing sector growing, the Brazilian economy is predicted to become one of the
five largest in the world.
A common concern in industrial areas is fugitive dust—particulates in the air produced by heavy wind or
damage to the ground surface from mining operations, heavy construction, or use of roadways. This dust
has the potential to harm health and the environment.
MRIGlobal has distinctive expertise in sampling and analyzing fugitive dust. In one recent project,
MRIGlobal scientists studied emissions from two neighboring industrial facilities and determined that the
environmental control systems already in place were sufficient for controlling fugitive emissions in an important industrial area.
Serving Industrial
Sector, Protecting
Environment in
Brazil and Beyond
Journal of Activities:
•• Launched the international Center for the
Study of Open Source Emissions, a voluntary
consensus organization that serves as a
catalyst for collaboration in developing
standards in this field of study
•• MRIGlobal’s Chatten Cowherd, Ph.D., Principal
Advisor, is named a finalist in R&D Magazine’s

Solar power around the globe has been expanding since the late 1990s. As solar technology advances, so
does the need to test and validate near-market products.
When the National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology (AIST), a public research institution funded by the Japanese government, wanted to compare results of a concentrating photovoltaic
(CPV) system in Japan with an identical system in the United States, it selected SolarTAC, a test facility in
Aurora, Colorado, as the U.S. location to erect the identical CPV system, and the National Renewable
Energy Laboratory (NREL) to test the system.
CPV uses lenses or mirrors to concentrate sunlight onto high-efficiency solar cells. Currently, SolarTAC,
which is managed and operated by MRIGlobal, hosts a wide array of solar technology from around the
globe.

MRIGlobal’s fiscal year (FY) 2011 was record-setting for both MRIGlobal and NREL with respect to business revenue
and sales volumes. MRIGlobal’s contract research operations had an all-time record revenue of $132 million, besting the previous year’s record by nearly 18 percent. NREL’s revenue of $495 million for the 12 months ending June
30, 2011, was also at a record level and exceeded 2010 by 14 percent. Growth has been largely the result of focused
attention on meeting customer requirements and an intentional shift toward the pursuit of larger integrated programs. MRIGlobal’s combined revenues for the year were $627 million.
MRIGlobal’s contract research sales for FY2011 were $163 million. This bodes well for expansion of MRIGlobal’s
mission into FY2012. MRIGlobal continues to invest in strategically significant areas of its business with continued
emphasis on internal research and development, strategic hires, technical equipment updates, and refreshed facilities. MRIGlobal furthered its facility expansion by opening a nearly 90,000-square-foot-facility in North Kansas City,
Mo., in FY2011.
