Services & Impact
Smart solutions for a better world.
For more than 75 years, leaders have leaned on RAND to help them solve the most pressing problems.
Our Promise
Trusted research and analysis
We find answers to society's most consequential policy questions. The methodologies that ground our research adapt to today's rapidly changing world.
Nonprofit, nonpartisan
Our research and recommendations are driven by rigorous evidence and deep expertise—not commercial or partisan interests. Integrity is our top priority, because we know that for our research to have an impact, it must first be trustworthy.
Better policy = better world
We help policymakers make better decisions, and that can change the world for the better. RAND research reflects our commitment to the public good.
Our Work
Clients and grantmakers from public and philanthropic sectors in the United States and around the world turn to RAND for high-quality research that helps them navigate vexing policy challenges.
In some cases, RAND provides valuable strategic advice and operational recommendations to the private sector—particularly where it converges with the public sector.
RAND also operates four federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) that assist the U.S. government with scientific research, analysis, and development.
