The Rhine Research Center Institute for Parapsychology, named after its founder J. B. Rhine, is a parapsychology research unit that "aims to improve the human condition by creating a scientific understanding of those abilities and sensitivities that appear to transcend the ordinary limits of space and time." It is the successor to the Parapsychology Laboratory at Duke University in Durham, North Carolina, and Rhine's later laboratory, the Foundation for Research on the Nature of Man (FRNM). Duke University severed its affiliation with the Parapsychology Laboratory during the 1980s.
