Summary
Management and program analysis within government agencies: studies the effectiveness, efficiency, and productivity of agency programs and operations, and supports resource allocation through budget formulation, workload/staffing analysis, and performance measurement. Distinct from policy research (which shapes legislative/regulatory positions) and from pure budget/financial accounting—this focus blends operational program analysis, control-system design, and budget justification to improve how agency programs run.
