Flight Attendant Medical Research Institute (FAMRI)

The Flight Attendant Medical Research Institute (FAMRI) sponsors scientific and medical research for the early detection, prevention, treatment and cure of diseases and medical conditions caused from exposure to tobacco smoke and to ensure that health care providers ask the right questions of their patients about secondhand tobacco smoke exposure.

A FAMRI Center of Excellence grant founded the Julius B. Richmond Center at the American Academy of Pediatrics in 2006. The Academy is grateful to FAMRI for its continued support for research to protect children and families from exposure to tobacco and secondhand smoke.
