The Paleontological Research Institution (PRI) is a small-to-mid-sized nonprofit based in Ithaca, New York, focused on earth science research, collections management, and education. It operates two public education venues—the Museum of the Earth and the Cayuga Nature Center—and maintains a collection of nearly three million specimens. PRI publishes scholarly work, including the Bulletin of American Paleontology, a long-running paleontology journal established in 1895, and plays a leading role in developing informal Earth science education resources for educators and the public. The institution is independent but formally affiliated with Cornell University, and it collaborates with university departments in research, teaching, and outreach. In 2013, the Cayuga Nature Center joined PRI as a public education venue. In 2024, PRI launched a climate change education center to expand teaching on environmental issues in Tompkins County.
