Name Change
In the second half of 2009 the State Farm Research Center officially changed its name to the State Farm Research and Development Center. The addition of "and Development" came about from a natural evolution in the work being done at the research center. When founded in 2005, most interns produced whitepapers based on Internet and other types of research. However, by 2009 research center interns were also frequently involved in developing application prototypes. The focus had shifted from pure research activities to research and development.
