MATRIXELLENT INC., a Delaware Charitable Nonstock Corporation, is both organized and operated primarily as a scientific organization that conducts fundamental research in the public interest. Scientific research is also carried on for the purpose of aiding in the scientific education of college or university students. Having been approved as a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt organization for research or educational purposes by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS) and being primarily engaged in basic research, MATRIXELLENT INC. arranges for eligible applicants to come to the United States of America (USA) under the B-1 Business Visitor nonimmigrant category or the Visa Waiver Program (VWP) to "undertake independent [basic] research" as permitted by Title 9 of the Foreign Affairs Manual (FAM) Section 402.2-5(B), Paragraph a., subdivision (6).

Basic research is general research to gain more comprehensive knowledge or understanding of the subject under study, without specific applications in mind. Basic research is also research that advances scientific knowledge, but does not have specific immediate commercial objectives although it may be in fields of present or potential commercial interest. It may include research and investigation in the sciences, social sciences, or humanities. (8 CFR 214.2(h)(19)(iii)(C)).
