RAND OVERVIEW

The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decision making through research and analysis.

For seven decades, RAND has used rigorous, fact-based research and analysis to help individuals, families, and communities throughout the world be safer and more secure, healthier and more prosperous. Our research spans the issues that matter most, such as energy, education, health care, justice, the environment, international affairs, and national security.

As a nonpartisan organization, RAND is widely respected for operating independent of political and commercial pressures. Quality and objectivity are our two core values. Please note that as a public benefit non-profit organization and in adherence to its own mission and policies, RAND is unable to accept work which would contractually permit clients to suppress research findings or otherwise dictate the research results in such a way that would impair the objectivity and rigor of the research effort.

About 1,950 researchers work at RAND, covering a wide variety of disciplines. Ninety percent of the research staff holds advanced degrees, with 54 percent having earned doctorates.

Research Programs

RAND research is conducted on a uniquely broad front for clients around the globe that include both the public and private sectors. Research and analysis are carried out by three divisions that address social and economic policy issues, both in the United States and overseas; by four federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) that focus on U.S. national security policy issues; and by RAND's wholly owned subsidiaries, RAND Europe and RAND Australia.

All RAND divisions adhere to the same commitment to high-quality, rigorous analysis and objectivity that has secured RAND's reputation for excellence. Often, several RAND divisions collaborate to conduct work on a specific issue or focus area. RAND’s divisions and research areas are outlined in the following pages.
