HumRRO was established in 1951 as the Human Resources Research Office of The George Washington University to carry out an integrated program of human resources research for the Department of the Army. In 1967, HumRRO's charter was modified to extend its research and development activities to other departments of the Federal Government, to state and local governments, and to private organizations. In 1969, HumRRO separated from the university and incorporated as a non-profit research organization. HumRRO is an industry leader in the areas of human resource modeling, utilization, development, and skills assessment and enhancement; workforce and job analysis; personnel recruitment, selection, and occupational assignment; survey design and analysis; performance measurement; analysis of training and instructional technology; and personnel policy analysis. Our focus is on gathering information relevant to human performance, applying state-of-the-art research methodologies and analytic techniques, and providing agencies and departments with reliable, valid, and applied research results for use by decision makers.
