In [[March 2008]] [[Charles Xavier]] announced the creation of the Xavier Institute, a foundation dedicated to supporting initiatives that advance genetic integration within society at large. Among the programs it hosts or supports, it includes the existing [[Xavier's School for Gifted Youngsters]], [[HeliX]], [[Red X]], and a new post-secondary Mutant Studies program run in co-operation with other universities. It would also continue existing relationships with groups such as [[Elpis]] and the [[Snow Valley Memorial Center for Mutant Affairs]].

One of the programs the Xavier Institute supports is a new collaborative Mutant Studies program run in cooperation with several local universities. This gives college-age residents at the mansion the chance to pursue studies at a number of colleges without having to leave the mansion, through a variety of distance education techniques, while at the same time learning from a number of resident experts in the field associated with the school and with [[Muir Island Research Facility]]. It began in [[September 2008]].

*'''[[Red X]] field leader training program:''' As part of the new Institute, a jointly-sponsored training program was established, aimed specifically at Red X members 18-25, to train them as team leaders in the field, either as a eventual career with the Red Cross, or continuing on a volunteer basis, not unlike the Beta Flight program. Training involves greater emphasis on powers control and adaptability, for both the team leader and to encourage in their team, but also higher level first aid, people management, dealing with crisis situation and coordination with local authorities during a disaster situation. The program has a range of timings offered: a three-month intensive course over the summer, or a six-to-nine month course with one or two sessions a week. Training is ongoing with refreshers every year.

The Xavier Institute is not just a refuge but also a centre of mutant research and learning.

The Institute

The universe of X-Project (Phase 2) is a darker one than the previous incarnation. Mutants are far less accepted, often scapegoated as being responsible for any super-powered incident or property damage. This stems from a history of backlash against mutants over the years, for various incidents. At the time of the relaunch, the world-changing event which causes the relaunch and subsequent damage has been blamed squarely on mutants, with mutant registration once more being called for and increasing incidents of violence and prejudice. Worse still, there are hints of more serious measures being advocated by sources close to the government. Mutants require a sanctuary - Xavier’s Institute has become that refuge.

Staff

Staff options include specialised tutoring or training of Generation X, a medical team for the medlab, researchers in the general labs in the basement, maintenance and service personnel for the grounds, building, food services and vehicle fleet, and specialized professional staff with the institute itself, including legal, PR, IT, and other specialties. Many members of teams may also hold additional staff positions, but it is not required, and vice versa.
