About us
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. HumRRO’s project experience includes not only research and assessment projects that have spanned a number of years, but also efforts that respond to our clients’ quick turnaround needs. Furthermore, our experience, both quick response and long term, has involved targeted analyses and information dissemination to high-level public officials. In keeping with our high visibility projects, our staff members are adept at preparing results for executives and managers. Our recent clients include an assortment of federal, state, and local agencies, nonprofit organizations, and private companies.

NEW: Congratulations to HumRRO's Harold Doran, Tetsuhiro Yamada, Ted Diaz, Emre Gonulates, and Vanessa Culver on publishing their paper this week in the National Council on Measurement in Education (NCME)'s Journal of Educational Measurement! Their paper, "A Generalized Objective Function for Computer Adaptive Item Selection," presents a new item selection algorithm for computer adaptive testing (CAT) based on a generalized objective function to support multiple types of testing conditions and principled assessment design. Lead author, Dr. Doran, explains the motivation behind the work: "We had a few goals that included building a flexible algorithm to support personalized assessments, building an algorithm that scales with high testing volumes to minimize latency and cost containment for industry-grade applications, and providing a consolidated resource so this work can also stand alone as a specification document with all computational details needed to build an instance of this CAT. We also learned a few interesting things along the way to help reduce test length and improve item exposure rates." Access the full paper here: https://lnkd.in/ead_cRFp Read about the web-based CAT simulation tool here: https://lnkd.in/gPZVyZyF #JEM #JournalofEducationalMeasurement #NCME #Research #CAT #ItemSelection #Algorithm #Assessments

Happy Juneteenth! All HumRRO offices will be closed today to commemorate June 19, 1865, when enslaved African American citizens in Galveston, Texas, finally learned of their freedom more than two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. Given the significance of this date, HumRRO added Juneteenth as an official paid holiday in 2021. As part of our Strategic Plan, we remain committed to diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility initiatives within our organization and externally through our client work, and encourage everyone to listen, learn, and engage in the pursuit of social equity.
