Why now?

The world is at a tipping point. A new set of problems threatens communities and societies worldwide. Simple solutions don’t exist.

At RAND, we have stepped forward to help improve the safety, security, health, and prosperity of individuals and communities throughout the world. We have the talent, multidisciplinary teams, global reach, and ability to shape the next generation of policy leaders through the Pardee RAND Graduate School. Using objective and evidence-based research and analysis—applied and taught in groundbreaking and far-reaching ways—we can deliver real change for the future.

Why RAND?

For 75 years, RAND has excelled at addressing complex, unpredictable problems that can too easily turn into crises. With our graduate school, we apply the best tools and talent to stay ahead of the curve and execute smart, strategic initiatives.

The solutions we have developed across the policy landscape have fostered peace, advanced freedom, and paved the way for new technologies, methods, and approaches that have left an indelible mark on the world. Our mission—to help improve policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis—has never been more important for a world that is confronting some of its greatest challenges.
