The RAND Arry Center is the Department f the Army s (DA) Federally Funded Research and Develpment Center (FFRDC) fr studies and analyses. It is a divisin f the RAND Crpratin dedicated t supprting the U.S. Army. RAND Crpratin is a nnprfit, tax-exempt crpratin perfrming research and analysis in the interest f natinal security and the welfare f the United States. RAND research is funded primarily by cntracts, grants, and cntributins. In additin, RAND cnducts prgrams that prvide graduate training. The RAND Arry Center (1) Furnishes the Army with infrmatin and findings derived frm analyses f Army technical and plicy issues. Its effrts are generally fcused n plicy-riented issues and are designed t assist the Army in imprving its efficiency and effectiveness. A special quick-respnse capability is maintained t prvide rapid analysis n key Army issues as they emerge. (2) Maintains bth a technical and nntechnical capability in a brad range f matters f cncern t the Army. This includes the ability t address, thrugh frmal studies and analyses, a variety f prblems ptentially affecting Army missins and rganizatins, including threats, strategy, dctrine, peratins, technlgy, lgistics, manpwer, health, and resurce management.

The RAND Arry Center prvides the capability t sustain a multiyear research and analysis prgram. (c) Prprietary and restricted infrmatin. The RAND Arry Center is an independent, nnprfit surce f bjective studies fr the Army. RAND Arry Center researchers have access t prprietary data, cmpetitin-sensitive data, r restricted data as authrized by applicable Federal statutes and regulatins, such as the Federal Acquisitin Regulatins applicable t FFRDC institutins. (d) Objectivity. Advice n alternative prgrams and curses f actin nly where the nnprfit analytical rganizatin has n rganizatinal cnflict f interest in accrdance with the Federal Acquisitin Regulatins. (e) Special, quick-respnse supprt. Ability t deliver shrt ntice prducts derived frm sustained research n a wide range f issues f cncern t the Army. b. All Army wrk fr the RAND Arry Center will be rdered thrugh a single cntract between the Army and the RAND Crpratin. Individual Army rganizatins will nt execute separate cntracts with the RAND Crpratin fr RAND Arry Center studies and analyses. 2 2. Develpment f the annual prgram a. The annual prgram is an evlving agenda. It specifies thematic thrusts, nging prjects, prpsed prjects, and ptential prjects. The annual prgram will be develped thrugh a cntinuing prcess invlving tp Army leaders, Secretariat and Army Staff spnsrs, the RAND ACPC lead agent, study crdinatrs f Army spnsr agencies, and RAND Arry Center management. This prcess will identify and clarify plicy issues seen as critical by the Army leadership. The prgram will be prepared annually by the RAND Arry Center fr lead agent and RAND ACPC apprval. b. Army activities as well as RAND Arry Center management may recmmend prjects fr inclusin in the RAND Arry Center annual prgram. c. During the preparatin f prpsed prjects, RAND Arry Center persnnel, members f the requesting agency, the Army Study Prgram Management Office (ASPMO), and ther interested individuals wrk tgether t ensure that the RAND Arry Center research agenda is aligned with the Army Study Prgram. d. Prjects are categrized accrding t three stages f develpment (1) Explratry. Effrts in this stage have been selected by the RAND Arry Center fr preliminary analysis. (2) Prvisinal. This stage cntains mre mature research activities. Effrts have been frmulated as prjects and have identified spnsrs and bjectives, but have nt yet been submitted t the RAND ACPC fr review and apprval. (3) Apprved. Effrts in this stage are mature prjects that have been frmally reviewed and apprved by the RAND ACPC (cre prjects) r by the lead agent (add-n prjects). e. Prir t submitting prvisinal prjects fr apprval, the spnsr and the RAND Arry Center management will develp mutually acceptable wrk summaries that define the research effrts. This will include a descriptin f the analytical techniques, supprting analyses, anticipated benefits and impacts, an estimate f the required level f effrt (staff years f technical effrt), and research milestnes against which prgress will be measured. f. The spnsr and the RAND Arry Center Directr will finalize and sign prject descriptins fr cre prjects within 90 days f RAND ACPC apprval f the annual research agenda. g. The RAND Arry Center may devte up t 25 percent f its annual budget fr explratry and supprting analytical effrts. The RAND ACPC lead agent may serve as the spnsr fr these effrts if required. h. An Army activity may, at any time, discuss plicy issues and ptential prjects r seek infrmatin cncerning cmpleted r nging RAND Arry Center prjects. i. Prir t the lead agent review, the RAND Arry Center Directr r a designated representative will review the prpsed annual research agenda fr the upcming fiscal year (FY) with the ASPMO t prevent unnecessary duplicatin f study effrts with ther research effrts. j. Prir t the lead agent review f prpsed add-n prjects that emerge thrughut the FY, the RAND Arry Center Directr r a designated representative will crdinate the prpsed prjects with the ASPMO. The ASPMO will cnfirm the prpsed prject is nt redundant with previusly cnducted studies r with nging effrts perfrmed by the Army s majr internal study activities. If redundancy is identified, they will verify with the lead agent that the study spnsr desires an independent evaluatin. 4 AR 5 21 29 June 2018
2 3. Disseminatin f RAND Arry Center reprts a. The RAND Arry Center will prvide Army prject spnsrs with written reprts and/r ther prducts as specified in prject descriptins fr cmpleted prjects.
