Request a New Arroyo Study
The RAND Arroyo Center ("Arroyo") is the United States Army's only federally funded research and development center (FFRDC) for studies and analysis. An Army organization can initiate an Arroyo research project in one of two ways: as part of the annual core research program or as a sponsor-funded add-on project. This page describes the add-on process.
The contract under which Arroyo supports the U.S. Army, W91CRB-21-D-0025, is a five-year, cost-plus-fixed-fee vehicle. New projects are added to Arroyo’s contract via task order.
Funding is not limited to RDT&E and O&M funds. It may cross several appropriations and program elements.
The Add-On Project Process
- Contact Arroyo. Potential sponsors should reach out directly to the relevant Arroyo Program Director. If you are uncertain which director to contact, reach out to Jocelyn Maciol, director of operations for RAND Arroyo Center, for assistance.
