Center for Nuclear Security Policy

The Stanton Foundation has given MIT’s Security Studies Program a $45 million gift to establish the Center for Nuclear Security Policy, which will focus on nuclear arms security scholarship. The support will allow the program to create a new center on the topic while extending and enhancing research, teaching, and policy outreach in an area where the Institute is a longstanding leader with wide-ranging faculty expertise.

The Stanton Foundation funding will enable the center to create three fellowships for junior scholars in nuclear security, hire new senior researchers, organize workshops and conferences, host international fellows, provide support for MIT faculty research, and seed other new projects.
