Dartmouth College
Project Title
As a final grant for a project to provide training in strategic force analysis
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Opportunities to learn technical analysis of nuclear strategy, weapons capabilities, and the impact of emerging technologies are scarce, especially for those new to the nuclear field. This final grant to Dartmouth College will enable emerging nuclear weapons scholars and practitioners to learn how to assess and model the capabilities of strategic nuclear forces through week-long in-person training courses. These courses will also facilitate networking among course participants as well as with established experts. This, in turn, will encourage future collaboration as well as sustain technical and analytical capacity in the field.

Project Title
For support of the state-level elected official rhetoric project
Date

Duration
36 months
Description
A thriving democracy hinges on civil debates on policy issues rather than inflammatory language that worsens polarization. Research also suggests that the most divisive policymakers are generally the least productive when it comes to sponsoring, building support for, and passing legislation, which makes them not only destructive to the political climate, but also poor delegates for constituents and a bad investment for donors. A collaboration between Stanford University, Dartmouth College, and the University of Pennsylvania, the Polarization Research Lab (PRL) is a research group and resource hub dedicated to applying science to the study of polarization and democracy. With Corporation support, PRL will track and categorize the public statements of state-level elected officials to help the public, journalists, and donors distinguish between those who seek to perpetuate partisan discord from those dedicated to effective government.

Opportunities to learn technical analysis of nuclear strategy, weapons capabilities, and the impact of emerging technologies are scarce, especially for those new to the nuclear field. Renewed funding to Dartmouth College will enable emerging nuclear weapons scholars and practitioners to learn how to assess and model the capabilities of strategic nuclear forces through week-long in-person training courses. These courses will also facilitate networking among course participants as well as with established experts.This, in turn, will encourage future collaboration as well as sustain technical and analytical capacity in the field.

Duration
10 months
Description
Analysts and scholars of nuclear weapons have few opportunities to learn how to conduct technical analysis of nuclear strategy, weapons capabilities, and the impact of emerging technologies.This is especially true for people new to the field.With this grant, Dartmouth College will conduct a residential workshop to train junior scholars, advanced graduate students, and early-career professionals in some of the tools and skills necessary to understand the impact of nuclear weapons and related technologies on strategic stability, deterrence, arms control, and related topics.This training, in turn, will enable them to engage in more nuanced research and analysis of the role of nuclear weapons in national security.
