Explanation:
I guess it is MIR, a local TV company in Barnaul.

Here is an article that says that several local companies in Barnaul (Altai Krai), one of which is MIR, share Channel 3:
Сейчас в Барнауле шесть телевизионных каналов. Первый - естественно, ОРТ, второй - РТР (с вкраплениями ГТРК "Алтай"), третий делят между собой небольшие местные телекомпании - "Мир", "АТН", "Спектр", "Алвест", "Катунь"

НИР scientific research

Explanation:
Based on your other question, which had to do with HIV, I suspect that the discussion is of a medical nature and НИР refers to научно-исследовательские работы.

In an engineering context, this might translate as "research and development"; in a medical context, I think simply "scientific research" will turn the trick.
