Division Overview
RAND research is conducted on a uniquely broad front, assisting decision-makers, public officials, and private-sector leaders at all levels. Research and analysis is carried out by five divisions that address social and economic policy issues, both in the United States and overseas; by three federally funded research and development centers (FFRDCs) that focus on national security policy issues; and by RAND Europe, an independently chartered RAND affiliate. 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 research area.
