Description

The RAND Corporation operates the National Defense Research Institute (NDRI), whose primary sponsor is the Office of the Under Secretary of War for Acquisition and Sustainment (OUSW(A&S)). NDRI is a studies and analysis Federally Funded Research Development Center (FFRDC) that supports the Department of War (DoW) and other Non-DoW Agencies. DoW research capabilities at NDRI represent a continuing investment by the DoW in objective research and analysis. The strategic relationship between DoW and NDRI was established and is maintained to bring private sector expertise to bear on research, development, and analytic tasks that are integral to the mission and operations of sponsoring organizations and that cannot be met as effectively by existing government resources, or by other not-for-profit or for-profit contractors. The RAND NDRI FFRDC was established to be an independent research institution.
