RAND Corporation

For 60 years, the RAND Corporation has pursued its nonprofit mission by conducting research on important and complicated problems. Initially, RAND (the name of which was derived from a contraction of the term research and development) focused on issues of national security. Eventually, RAND expanded its intellectual reserves to offer insight into other areas, such as business, education, health, law, and science. No other institution tackles tough policy problems across so broad a spectrum. The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis.
