Research CTRS is an acronym for Research Centers, which are organizations that conduct research in a variety of fields. Research Centers typically have both Institutes (5 letters) and Laboratories (4 letters) that are dedicated to researching specific topics. Institutes are usually larger than laboratories and often have multiple departments and research teams. Laboratories are smaller and more specialized, focusing on one particular area of research. Research CTRS provide a platform for scientists to collaborate and share their findings with the world.
