Nuclear Security
Carnegie Corporation aspires to a world free of nuclear weapons. To achieve this long-term vision, the Corporation invests in practical steps to reduce today's nuclear threats and establish conditions conducive to further progress. The grantmaking priorities include halting proliferation to new states, reducing existing arsenals, preventing terrorists from acquiring nuclear weapons and strengthening the treaties and laws that govern nuclear activity.
The Corporation works independently and with other funders to reduce the nuclear threat through:
Strengthening the nonproliferation regime with independent research and outreach.
The Corporation supports studies that serve as key resources for policymakers, the media and the public. The research focuses on answering questions related to verification and compliance, strategic stability, nuclear terrorism and safeguards.
Nurturing the next generation of nuclear security specialists.
The Corporation supports the cultivation of specialists on complex technical and policy issues related to nuclear weapons. Grants seek to connect the technical and policy communities and bridge academic disciplines.
Assisting official efforts to resolve the challenges posed by North Korea and Iran.
The Corporation supports Track II diplomacy (informal dialogue among concerned parties acting in an unofficial capacity) that seek solutions to the challenge posed by nuclear programs in North Korea and Iran.
