The RAND Corporation originated as "Project RAND" (from the phrase "research and development" ) in the postwar period immediately afterWorld War II.[8][9]TheUnited States Army Air Forcesestablished Project RAND with the objective of investigating long-range planning of future weapons.[10]Douglas Aircraft Companywas granted a contract to research intercontinental warfare.[10]Project RAND later evolved into the RAND Corporation, and expanded its research into civilian fields such as education and international affairs.[11]It was the first think tank to be regularly referred to as a "think tank".[1]

RAND receives both public and private funding. Its funding sources include theU.S. government,privateendowments,[12]corporations,[13]universities,[13]charitable foundations,U.S.stateandlocalgovernments,international organizations,and to a small extent, foreign governments.[13][14]

Overview

edit

RAND has approximately 1,850 employees. Its American locations include:Santa Monica, California(headquarters);Arlington, Virginia;Pittsburgh,Pennsylvania;andBoston,Massachusetts.[15]The RAND Gulf States Policy Institute has an office inNew Orleans,Louisiana.RAND Europe is located inCambridge,United Kingdom;Brussels,Belgium;andRotterdam,Netherlands.[16]RAND Australia is located inCanberra,Australia.[17]

RAND is home to theFrederick S. Pardee RAND Graduate School,one of eight original graduate programs inpublic policyand the first to offer aPhD.The program aims to provide practical experience for students, who work with RAND analysts on addressing real-world problems. The campus is at RAND's Santa Monica research facility. The Pardee RAND School is the world's largest PhD-granting program in policy analysis.[18]

Unlike many other programs, all Pardee RAND Graduate School students receive fellowships to cover their education costs. This allows them to dedicate their time to engage in research projects and provides them with on-the-job training.[18]RAND also offers a number of internship and fellowship programs allowing students and others to assist in conducting research for RAND projects. Most of these are short-term independent projects mentored by a RAND staff member.[19]

RAND publishes theRAND Journal of Economics,apeer-reviewedjournal of economics.[20]

Thirty-two recipients of theNobel Prize,primarily in the fields of economics and physics, have been associated with RAND at some point in their career.[21][22]

History

edit

Project RAND

edit

RAND was created after individuals in theWar Department,theOffice of Scientific Research and Development,and industry began to discuss the need for a private organization to connectoperational researchwithresearch and developmentdecisions.[19]The immediate impetus for the creation of RAND was a conversation in September 1945 between GeneralHenry H. "Hap" Arnoldand Douglas executiveFranklin R. Collbohm.[23]Both men were deeply worried thatongoing demobilizationmeant the federal government was about to lose direct control of the vast amount of American scientific brainpower assembled to fight World War II.[23]

As soon as Arnold realized Collbohm had been thinking along similar lines, he said, "I know just what you're going to tell me. It's the most important thing we can do."[24]With Arnold's blessing, Collbohm quickly pulled in additional people from Douglas to help, and together withDonald Douglas,they convened with Arnold two days later atHamilton Army Airfieldto sketch out a general outline for Collbohm's proposed project.[24]

Douglas engineerArthur Emmons Raymondcame up with the name Project RAND, from "research and development".[8]Collbohm suggested that he himself should serve as the project's first director, which he thought would be a temporary position while he searched for a permanent replacement for himself.[8]He later became RAND's first president and served in that capacity until his retirement in 1967.[25]

On 1 October 1945, Project RAND was set up under special contract to the Douglas Aircraft Company and began operations in December 1945.[19][26]In May 1946, thePreliminary Design of an Experimental World-Circling Spaceshipwas released.

RAND Corporation

edit

By late 1947, Douglas Aircraft executives had expressed their concerns that their close relationship with RAND might createconflict of interestproblems on future hardware contracts. In February 1948, the chief of staff of the newly created United States Air Force approved the evolution of Project RAND into anonprofit corporation,independent of Douglas.[19]

On 14 May 1948, RAND was incorporated as a nonprofit corporation under the laws of the State of California and on 1 November 1948, the Project RAND contract was formally transferred from the Douglas Aircraft Company to the RAND Corporation.[19]Initial capital for the spin-off was provided by theFord Foundation.

Since the 1950s, RAND research has helped inform United States policy decisions on a wide variety of issues, including the space race, theVietnam War,the U.S.-Soviet nuclear arms confrontation, the creation of theGreat Societysocial welfare programs, the digital revolution, and national health care.[27]In the 1970s the Rand Corporation adjusted computer models it was using to recommend closures of fire stations in New York City so that fire stations were closed in the most fire-prone areas, home to Black and Puerto Rican residents, rather than in wealthier, more affluent neighborhoods.[28]

RAND contributed to the doctrine ofnuclear deterrencebymutually assured destruction(MAD), developed under the guidance of then-Defense SecretaryRobert McNamaraand based upon their work withgame theory.[29]Chief strategistHerman Kahnalso posited the idea of a "winnable" nuclear exchange in his 1960 bookOn Thermonuclear War.This led to Kahn's being one of the models for the titular character of the filmDr. Strangelove,in which RAND is spoofed as the "BLAND Corporation".[30][31]

Even in the late 1940s and early 1950s, long before Sputnik, the RAND project was secretly recommending to the US government a major effort to design a human-made satellite that would take photographs from space and the rockets to put such a satellite in orbit.[32]

RAND was not the first think tank, but during the 1960s, it was the first to be regularly referred to as a "think tank".[1]Accordingly, RAND served as the "prototype" for the modern definition of that term.[1]

In the early 1990s, RAND established a European branch to serve clients across the public, private, and third sectors, including governments, charities, and corporations. RAND Europe is the European arm of the RAND Corporation, and like its main branch, it is a not-for-profit policy research organization dedicated to improving decision-making through evidence-based research and analysis. RAND Europe's stated mission is to improve policy and decision-making through rigorous, independent research. RAND Europe is incorporated in, and has offices in, Cambridge, Rotterdam, and Brussels.[33][34]

Research

edit
RAND Corporation,Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania

The research of RAND stems from its development ofsystems analysis.Important contributions are claimed in space systems and the United States'space program,[35]in computing and inartificial intelligence.RAND researchers developed many of the principles that were used to build theInternet.[36]RAND also contributed to the development and use ofwargaming.[37][38]

Current areas of expertise include: child policy,law,civilandcriminal justice,education,health(public healthandhealth care), international policy/foreign policy,labor markets,national security,defense policy,infrastructure,energy,environment,businessandcorporate governance,economic development,intelligence policy,long-range planning,crisis managementandemergency management-disaster preparation,population studies,regional studies,comparative studies,science and technology,social policy,welfare,terrorism andcounterterrorism,cultural policy, arts policy,and transportation.[39][14][11]

Defense and National Security

edit

During theCold War,RAND researchers contributed to the development of nuclear strategy concepts such as deterrence theory andmutually assured destruction.[40]In recent years, RAND has analyzed military readiness, force modernization, andcounterterrorismstrategies. For example, one study examined the effectiveness ofcounterinsurgencyoperations inIraqandAfghanistan.[41]

Healthcare and Public Health

edit

RAND designed and conducted one of the largest and most important studies of health insurance between 1974 and 1982. TheRAND Health Insurance Experiment,funded by the then–U.S.Department of Health, Education and Welfare,established an insurance corporation to compare demand for health services with their cost to the patient.[42][43]

In 2018, RAND began its Gun Policy in America initiative,[44]which resulted in comprehensive reviews of the evidence of the effects of gun policies in the United States. The second expanded review in 2020[45]analyzed almost 13,000 relevant studies on guns and gun violence since 1995 and selected 123 as having sufficient methodological rigor for inclusion. These studies were used to evaluate scientific support for eighteen classes of gun policy. The review found supportive evidence that child-access prevention laws reduce firearm self-injuries (including suicides), firearm homicides or assault injuries, and unintentional firearm injuries and deaths among youth. Conversely, it identified that stand-your-ground laws increase firearm homicides and shall-issue concealed carry laws increase total and firearm homicides. RAND also emphasized that the absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.[46]Both proponents and opponents of variousgun controlmeasures have cited the RAND initiative.[47][48][49][50]

Additionally, RAND has researched the opioid epidemic, andalcoholism.[51]

Education and Social Policy

edit

The RAND analysis of theIntensive Partnerships for Effective Teaching,a $575 million initiative from theBill & Melinda Gates Foundationto increase teacher effectiveness, found that the interventions had no effect on student achievement.[52]

Emerging Technologies and Innovation

edit

RAND has examined the implications of emerging technologies such as artificial intelligence, cybersecurity threats, and autonomous systems. It was accused of working too closely withOpen Philanthropyin its work on AI, at the risk of losing its independence.[53][54][55]RAND employees have expressed concerns to Politico about the organization's objectivity after it was revealed that RAND helped draft the Executive Order on AI, following over $15 million in funding from a Facebook founder-backed Open Philanthropy.[56]In December 2023, theHouse Science Committeesent a bipartisan letter to theNational Institute of Standards and Technologyraising concerns over RAND's "research that has failed to go through robust review processes, such as academic peer review."[57][58]On Septiembre 13, 2024, the ranking member of theU.S. Senate Committee on Commerce, Science, and Transportationsent a letter to the RAND Corporation to better understand it's "involvement in the AI Executive Order and the administration’s other actions related to online speech."[59]
