ACER consists of a 7 institution core team: Auburn University (Administrative Lead); Purdue and Harvard Universities (Technical Co-Leads); Boise State University, Kansas State University, the University of California Berkeley and the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey (Core Members).

Oklahoma State University and Saint Louis University are academic affiliates of the ACER CoE. Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory participates in a number of ACER projects.

ACER is sponsored by the FAA Office of Aerospace Medicine at FAA HQ.

With FAA (link opens in a new window) and industrial partner support, ACER is conducting a comprehensive and integrated program of research and development on the cabin environment. The team brings the diverse expertise necessary to conduct research on the healthfulness of the cabin environment for passengers and crew, enhancement of aircraft environmental control systems, and detection and mitigation of chemical and biological threats aboard aircraft.

ACER aims to be an unique resource for airlines, equipment manufacturers, cabin crews and the traveling public and places a major emphasis on partnerships with industry in the broadest sense.

ACER benefits from strategic guidance received from a high level advisory board.

In March 2005, ACER received its initial round of research funding from the FAA (previous FAA funds were for startup and management).
