Program Narratives

MissionStudies and Analysis Support – OSD

The OUSD(P&R)'s Studies and Analysis Support program serves to leverage specialized expertise and critical capabilities designed to help meet varied research, study, and analytical support needs in the manpower, personnel, talent management, force readiness, training, education, force safety, family support, resiliency, and health services portfolios. This funding supports intellectually rigorous, relevant, and timely assessments of policies, programs, and procedures across the P&R enterprise. Funded research, studies, program evaluations, surveys, and analysis support P&R roles in executing the interim National Defense Strategy in a proactive and forward leaning posture, focusing on a strategic programmatic and policy framework for the future. This program advances P&R’s statutory title 10 and Principal Staff Assistant responsibilities with respect to promoting a ready and agile Total Force positioned to execute the Department’s mission. Funding is leveraged to address key strategic and long-term challenges facing the Department and includes targeted assessments to support program evaluation and efficacy. It also encompasses comprehensive research and complex exploration to support data-aligned, insights-driven, and outcome-based decision-making and critical analysis to develop needed evidentiary bases for policy development or modification.

Accomplishments & Planned Programs (1)

Studies and Analysis Support – OSD

P&R’s Studies and Analysis program is focused on efforts that align with the interim National Defense Strategy, particularly to Build Enduring Advantages and a joint warfighting ecosystem that is supported by a ready and capable Total Force. Resources fund Federally Funded Research and Development Centers (FFRDCs), University Affiliated Research Centers (UARCs), and other contracts for studies, analysis, research, and surveys that address the strategic challenges facing P&R and the Department of Defense, reflect enterprise-wide equities, focus on strategic programmatic and policy frameworks, and fund efforts that we cannot accomplish internally.
