The American Consumer Institute Center for Citizen Research (ACI) is a 501(c)(3) (tax-exempt and fully tax deductible) nonprofit American educational and research institute based in Reston, Virginia. The Institute claims to be an independent organization founded on a belief that consumer representations too often reflect either the interests of a small subsets of groups or mirror advocates’ political views based on subjective conclusions, rather than empirically based analyses.
