Project T.A.H.I.T.I. (Terrestrialized Alien Host Integrative Tissue I.) was a S.H.I.E.L.D. Level 9 project ordered by Director Nick Fury and overseen by Agent Phil Coulson.

Since Nick Fury considered Agent Coulson just as important, he put the project in action when Coulson was killed by Loki after the Attack on the Helicarrier.
