With fellowships for students and awards to young journalists, we help educate the next generation.”

“The Carnegie Endowment for International Peace is a private, nonprofit organization dedicated to advancing cooperation between nations and promoting active international engagement by the United States. Founded in 1910, its work is nonpartisan and dedicated to achieving practical results.” Carnegie’s “Non-Proliferation Project provides authoritative information and analysis on the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction. The project hosts the Carnegie International Non-Proliferation Conference, which brings together hundreds of policy makers, experts, and officials from around the world. An ongoing program of research, analysis, and commentary, the project produces the award-winning ProliferationNews.org website.”

“The Center for Arms Control and Non-Proliferation is a Washington, D.C. based 501(c)3 non-profit policy organization that seeks the reduction and eventual elimination of nuclear weapons as a significant tool of U.S. national security policy.” In addition, “the Center’s Program on Biological and Chemical Weapons Control and its Scientists Working Group seek to reinforce the norm against biological and chemical weapons and any hostile use of biology, and to enhance prevention and defense efforts against those who would violate this norm. The Program develops working papers, reports, recommendations and briefings on technical and policy issues for the Congress, the media and public, and international community.”

“The Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS) provides strategic insights and practical policy solutions to decision makers committed to advancing global security and prosperity.” Its “Biotechnology and Public Policy Initiative aims to bring clarity to matters where science and policy intersect and to design governmental processes and institutions to help ensure the benefits and avoid the dangers of science and technology.” The focus of the CSIS Homeland Security Program “is to advance the policies, practices, and partnerships to keep America safe and secure at home and abroad.”
