csis_logo_cmyk (large)

ABOUT THE PROGRAM

Addressing an increasingly complex array of nuclear weapons challenges in the future will require talented young people with the necessary technical and policy expertise to contribute to sound decision-making on nuclear issues over time. To that end, the CSIS Project on Nuclear Issues (PONI) runs a yearly Nuclear Scholars Initiative for graduate students and young professionals. Those accepted into the program are hosted once per month at CSIS in Washington, DC, where they participate in daylong workshops with senior government officials and policy experts. Over the course of the 6-month program, Scholars are required to prepare a research paper, which they will be given the opportunity to present to a panel of experts and later publish in a journal produced by CSIS. Travel costs for participants living outside the Washington, DC area are covered.
