RAND Corp. Chosen to Operate New Research Center for U.S. Department of Homeland Security | RAND

Something to add to your regular news feed:
When it comes to legitimate sources for research on security and policies, you can't get much better than the RAND Corporation. Now that it's federally funded and commissioned to report directly to the Department of Homeland Security, it will be interesting to see what kind of information we will get straight from the proverbial horse's mouth.

"The new research center is expected to focus on seven areas: acquisition studies, homeland security threat and opportunity studies, organizational studies, regulatory doctrine and policy studies, operational studies, research and development studies, and innovation and technology acceleration."
