Friends Research Institute is a research services organization dedicated to promoting health and well-being through research, grants administration, education, and treatment. Its researchers conduct studies in substance use, health, HIV/AIDS, mental health, and criminal justice, with funding from federal, state, county, and private sources. The organization also provides education and outpatient substance abuse counseling for adolescents and adults in Baltimore County, Maryland and in Los Angeles, California, and offers end-to-end grants management—from pre-award through project completion—so researchers can focus on their work. Headquartered in Baltimore, Maryland, FRI has a multi-decade presence in the health research landscape. In December 2025, the organization announced the promotion of Kathy Krispin from Senior Grants Manager to Director of Grants Management.
