RAND Corporation

Since 1948, the RAND Corporation has operated as an independent non-profit organization. RAND’s mission is to help improve policy and decision-making through research and analysis. Of the approximately 1,600 people working at RAND, more than 950 are part of the research staff. RAND researchers represent nearly every academic field and profession, from engineering and behavioural science to education, medicine and economics. A wide range of sponsors commission RAND to conduct research that meets their needs, as well as fulfilling RAND’s mission.

Since 1970, RAND has also operated an innovative and respected graduate school specializing in public policy analysis. The Pardee RAND Graduate School (PRGS) is the world's leading producer of Ph.D.'s in public policy analysis.
