§2823 University-based Defense Nuclear Policy Collaboration Program

Summary

The Administrator must set up a research consortium made of colleges and nonprofit groups to help carry out and improve defense nuclear policy work. It must be run like the program in section 2795. The consortium will do research to shape policy, keep public databases on topics like nonproliferation, arms control, deterrence, foreign nuclear programs, and nuclear security, and help research centers share expertise to address specific threats. The Administrator must also make sure the consortium gives support—through private fellowships, scholarships, internships, workshops, short courses, summer schools, and research grants—to graduate students, academics, and policy specialists working on those policy areas and on training the next generation of experts.
