Education and Human Resources Research at Rand,

Abstract

Rand has established an interdepartmental research program for education and human resources. Current research projects are staffed by about 50 Rand professionals, or the annual equivalent of about 35 person-years. The research is policy oriented, addressing issues of education and manpower policy as faced by federal, state, and local decisionmakers. The research is also interdisciplinary, engaging the skills of educators, sociologists, economists, political scientists, psychologists, cost analysts, statisticians, operations researchers, urban planners, engineers, and computer scientists. This combination of skills allows Rand to be more effective in conducting research on social issues than if Rand followed the typical single-discipline pattern of much human resources research.
