Foundation for Alcohol Research

The Foundation for Alcohol Research(ABMRF) describes itself as “the premier private foundation in North America that fosters and communicates research to understand the effects of alcohol on health and behaviour” ABMRF AMBRF: Alcohol & Health accessed 8th May 2010. The research foundation is a non-profit organisation funded by American and Canadian brewers. It is run by a board of trustees; a minority of board members come from the alcohol industry the rest consist of alcohol industry representatives and academics.

==History==
The Foundation was 'established in 1982 as the Alcoholic Beverage Medical Research Foundation (ABMRF), a 501(c)(3) organization, with the support of the malt beverage industries of the United States and Canada. This important relationship continues today.'Foundation for Alcohol Research About Us, accessed 11 May 2010
 
ABMRF’s predecessor organization, the Medical Advisory Group (MAG), was 'formed in 1969 under the administrative auspices of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. The MAG was created to provide independent medical advice concerning the health effects of alcoholic beverages to members of the United States Brewers Association (USBA) -- today's Beer Institute. Proceeding upon the advice of the Johns Hopkins Hospital president, USBA enlisted Dr. Thomas B. Turner, distinguished dean emeritus of The Johns Hopkins University School of Medicine. Dr. Turner drew upon well-known physicians from the Harvard, Yale, Dartmouth, and Johns Hopkins medical schools to create an esteemed group.'Foundation for Alcohol Research Tradition of Excellence, accessed 11 May 2010

Foundation for Individual Rights in Education

The Foundation for Individual Rights in Education (FIRE) is a non-profit group founded in 1999 and focused on selected civil liberties in academia in the United States. Its goal is stated as "to defend and sustain individual rights at America's colleges and universities," including the rights to "freedom of speech, legal equality, due process, religious liberty, and sanctity of conscience - the essential qualities of individual liberty and dignity".
One of FIRE's primary focuses is opposition to campus 'speech codes.' FIRE defines a "speech code" as "any university regulation or policy that prohibits expression that would be protected by the First Amendment in society at large."FIRE What are speech codes? 
FIRE often claims to identify 'speech codes' within college and university sexual or racial harassment policies. 
==Foundation==
According to Donald Downs, the Committee for Academic Freedom and Rights 'served as a model for FIRE after FIRE's co-founder, Harvey Silvergate, witnessed the key role that CAFR played in the process that led to Wisconsin's abolition of its faculty speech code by a vote of the faculty senate in March 1999.Donald Downs, 'Political Mobilization and resistance to Censorship' in Evan Gertsmann and Metthes J.

Foundation for Research on Economics and Environment

The Foundation for Research on Economics and Environment (FREE) is a U.S. based think tank which works on questions of economics and environment. FREE was founded by John Baden in 1985. In a previous incarnation FREE was known as the Political Economy Research Centre (PERC) from 1982-85, and before that it was part of Montana State University, in the Center for Political Economy and Natural Resources. The Centre was obviously politically controversial, and FREE claims they were the victims of academic turf wars:
'Some commodity groups were outraged that "their" University would harbor these outspoken critics of crony capitalism. And a generation ago, many Greens had more than a tinge of pink. They were livid that a bunch of libertarian economists had trespassed into their domain and claimed the intellectual, ethical, and ecological environmental high ground.' 
Those associated with FREE claim to have played a key role in pioneering the 'New Resource Economics' and they carefully position themselves as not being in the pocket of big business:
'FREE has consistently fought corporate subsidies (see “A Welfare Act for U.S. Oil” and “Spare that Tree”) fostering exploitation and strongly advocates such efforts as wolf reintroduction to the federal lands of the West. The intellectually naïve confuse FREE’s classical liberal, pro-market process orientation with that advocated by supporters of a subsidized, pro-business position that exploits the environment' 
==Events==
In August 2004 FREE hosted the general meeting of the Mont Pelerin Society in Salt Lake City.
