Project RAND

Project RAND, initiated in 1946, was a research project designed to explore various issues related to defense and military strategy, particularly during the Cold War era. It aimed to provide the U.S. government with expert analysis and policy recommendations to address complex problems. The project evolved into the Rand Corporation, a nonprofit think tank that conducts research on a wide range of topics, including national security, economics, healthcare, and education. RAND is known for its rigorous analytical approach and has influenced public policy and decision-making in both government and private sectors.
