The U.S. government is working to modernize information collection from individuals who apply for a security clearance while improving customer experience and adhering to principles of fairness and equity. RAND hosted a panel discussion about steps that the U.S. government can take to ensure that the security clearance process is not only better understood but also fair and equitable to grow its talent base to meet national security needs.
