Advisors Network A World-class Team of Advisors The development of the RMS®
U.S. Terrorism Risk Model has involved the input of an extensive team of
highly qualified advisors, all of which are authorities in their field of
assessing terrorism threats.
RAND
RAND is a nonprofit institution that helps improve policy and decision
making through research and analysis. Created in 1946, RAND was the first organization to
be known as a "think tank." The institution is set up to serve the
public interest by widely disseminating its findings to decision makers
on diverse lines of policy research and development in public safety;
civil and criminal justice; national security; science and technology;
labor, population, and demography; and health. RAND
also advances specific policy recommendations based on the results of
its research. More than 1,600
full and part-time staff are employed at RAND. Eighty-five percent of the research staff
hold advanced degrees, with more than 65 percent having earned a Ph.D.
or masters degree.
Centre for the Study of Terrorism and Political Violence, University of
St. Andrews, Scotland The Centre for the Study of
Terrorism and Political Violence (CSTPV) at the University of St.
Andrews in Scotland has been the leading academic institute researching
terrorism for the past twenty years. It aims to investigate the
roots of political violence, to develop a body of theory spanning its
various disparate elements, and to study the impact of violence, and
responses to it at societal, governmental, and international levels.
The Centre has a wide-ranging and intensive research program. Members
of CSTPV have been advisors to the U.S. government and leading
policymaking groups.
RMS is currently
sponsoring the RMS Terrorism Research Fellow, at CSTPV, University of
St. Andrews.

established the International Center for Political Violence and

and future generations of leaders to effectively manage the threat of
political violence. Students and staff at the centre will engage in
research, education, and networking and outreach programs to better
