The RAND Corporation is a nonprofit global policy think tank created in 1948 by Douglas Aircraft Company to offer research and analysis to the United States Armed Forces. It’s headquartered in Santa Monica, California, with additional offices in several other countries. RAND focuses on a broad range of public policy issues including health, education, national security, international affairs, law, business, the environment, and more. Its research is intended to provide objective analysis and effective solutions that reflect an understanding of both the policy implementation and policy implications. Over the decades, RAND has expanded its focus to include strategies for improving public policy and decision-making through research and analysis, thus influencing a wide range of policy debates and pioneering new analytical techniques, such as the Delphi method.
