Cummings Research Park, located primarily in the city of Huntsville, Alabama is the second largest research park in the United States, and the fourth largest in the world. The Research Triangle Park (RTP)in North Carolina is the only research park in the United States that is larger. However, since RTP is spread over areas in three counties and intermingled with many non-research firms, and CRP is fully concentrated with strong restrictions to the type of occupants, there is justification to credit CRP as being the largest contiguous research park of its type in America. Cummings Research Park is a member of the Association of University Research Parks (AURP [1]). The University of Alabama in Huntsville serves as anchor tenant for the park. UAH is a comprehensive research university with more than 7,400 students.
