Rand Corporation, established in 1948, derived its name from a combination of "research and development." Initially created to provide research support to the U.S. Air Force, the organization sought to address complex policy and strategic issues through scientific and analytical methods. Over time, it expanded its focus to a wide range of public policy challenges, but the original name reflects its foundational mission.
