The RAND Center to Advance Racial Equity Policy is a hub for generating inclusive, multi-sector policy ideas that center diverse cross-sections of people throughout every step, from research and analysis to dissemination and implementation.
We take a humanity-first, community-driven approach to equity research with the goal of creating meaningful policy and systemic change. We move from documenting disparities alone to research that can realize a more equitable society for all.
About the Center
The center was established in 2020 with funding from donor contributions and RAND's own resources.
It emerged from an effort by RAND to assess how policy analysis is designed, framed, executed, and translated, and the role of factors related to equity in policy.
