Established in 2001 by The City University of New York (CUNY) Board of Trustees, the Asian American / Asian Research Institute (AAARI), is a university-wide scholarly research and resource center that focuses on policies and issues that affect the Asian American / Asian community. AAARI covers four main areas: Asian American; East Asian; South Asian; and Trade & Technology Studies.

CUNY, with twenty-three colleges city-wide, is rich in faculty with expertise in Asian American / Asian studies. As of Fall 2006, CUNY enrolled over 30,000 Asian students, comprising 16% of the overall undergraduate population.

AAARI aims to acheive the following:

• To become an Asian intellectual and cultural center that addresses the needs of New York's diverse ethnic subgroups of Asian origin
• To stimulate the study of Asian people, languages, cultures, and countries as well as Asian immigrants and their descendants who live in the United States
• To bring together a community of scholars and channel their scholarship and research energies on Asia and the Asian American experience
• To identify timely issues that affect the Asian and Asian American communities
• To conduct scholarly, non-political, and unbiased studies on policy goals and community concerns
• To disseminate its research results and educate the public about Asian and Asian American issues
