The Linus Pauling Institute was established at Oregon State University in August 1996 under an agreement reached between OSU and the Linus Pauling Institute of Science and Medicine (located in California from 1973 to 1996). The Institute can be found at http://lpi.oregonstate.edu/ and here, the LPI mission is stated to be to: "Determine the function and role of vitamins and essential minerals (micronutrients) and chemicals from plants (phytochemicals) in promoting optimum health and preventing and treating disease.Determine the role of oxidative and nitrative stress and antioxidants in human health and disease.Help people everywhere achieve a healthy and productive life, full of vitality, with minimal suffering, and free of cancer and other debilitating diseases."

The institute produces a newsletter with information on micronutrient research, sponsors an award - the “Linus Pauling Institute Prize for Health Research” and hosts seminars and conferences.
