Description
RAND’s PAF Fellows Program brings a select group of military officers and their civilian counterparts into RAND research projects. Established in 1952, the program connects RAND’s scientific staff with professional military training and experience, creating opportunities to incorporate applicable military operational concepts into systems analyses. Its focus is participation in research, with fellows’ military experience informing the analytical work undertaken at RAND.
Department of Air Force representation has continued uninterrupted since the first officer arrived in 1952. In recent years, PAF has hosted active-duty military and civilian fellows from the USAF and USSF through Senior Developmental Education, Intermediate Developmental Education, Legislative Fellows, and Education With Industry Fellows programs.
