Grants to this Grantee
for general operating support
The Center for a New American Security (CNAS) is an independent, nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that develops strong, pragmatic, and principled national security and defense policies. CNAS engages policymakers, experts, and the public with innovative, fact-based research, ideas, and analysis to shape and elevate the national security debate. A key part of its mission is to inform and prepare the national security leaders of today and tomorrow. This grant provides general operating support for CNAS.
for study of government service in national security
The Center for a New American Security will examine the current state of the national security talent pipeline and explore the challenges, barriers, and opportunities in the recruitment and retention of civil servants in national security departments and agencies. The project seeks to ascertain the rising generation’s perceptions, priorities, and concerns regarding future or sustained government service. It will include focused research on underrepresented populations in the national security enterprise. Upon completion of the research, the center will brief findings to decision makers within national security departments, agencies, and offices and will create resources informing interested individuals about opportunities for government service.
for general operating support
The Center for a New American Security seeks "to develop strong, pragmatic and principled national security and defense policies." It does so on a bipartisan basis, with efforts led by senior officials who have served in the Administrations of both parties. The Center is focused on shoring up a national consensus across party lines on key national security policy issues. This grant for general operating support will enable the Center to deepen its efforts in this regard and respond to new opportunities as they arise.
