Politics may have commanded the public's attention this year. But at RAND, we remained focused on policy, publishing research that is grounded in the facts, free from partisan or commercial pressures, and pursued in the public interest.
We are proud of the contributions we made to important conversations about these and other policy issues, many of which we intend to build on in 2025.
And whatever the coming year brings, RAND will hold steadfast to the vital mission that's been our guiding light for more than 75 years: improving policy and decisionmaking through research and analysis.
Did you know that RAND has a graduate school? It's the only program based at an independent public policy research organization. Applications are now open for master's degree programs in national security policy and policy analysis, as well as the original Ph.D. in policy analysis.
