  • Federation institute for scientific and technological research and development
  • Named for Richard Daystrom, inventor of duotronics
  • Established by 2284 (DS9 Short Story: "Infinity")
    • Reference to the Institute in Desperate Hours, but as this is before "The Ultimate Computer", this seems more likely an error

  • Divided into various divisions covering differing areas of science, each division chaired by a council
    • Archaeology Division (DS9: "Q-Less")
    • Cybernetics and Robotics Division (TNG: "The Measure of a Man")
  • Publishes the Journal of the Daystrom Institute (TNG: "Redemption II")
  • Holds annex locations across the Federation, serving as both research institutions and universities
    • Known locations of annexes
      • Galor IV (TNG: "The Offspring"; TNG Novel: Immortal Coil)
