We are headquartered in Washington, DC, just blocks from the White House, U.S. Capitol and Supreme Court. Ideally situated at the center of the nation's policy environment, our professional staff is able to draw upon a wealth of resources unavailable anywhere else in the country.

Our staff comprises leading experts in their fields. The breadth and depth of their knowledge enable them to develop Frontier Solutions to today's most challenging public policy issues. Their work takes the form of written analytical reports, conferences, software, modeling and simulations, databases and consulting.

New staffers enter NPRC as an associate or consultant, depending on their educational background. Associate-level positions are designed for college graduates with a bachelor's degree. Consultant-level positions require an advanced degree.

We offer careers in three functional areas: policy and research, education, and business development.

Associates are encouraged to work across research councils in an effort to develop a long-term interest. An associate's primary focus is operational. He or she frequently assists consultants in executing their strategic objectives. After three to four years, associates are expected to pursue graduate work in their field of interest.

Consultants, our advanced-level track, are required to possess a high level of knowledge about their discipline. They should be capable of using the analytical techniques and methodologies characteristic of their field. A consultant's primary duties and responsibilities are strategic in focus.
