Project Title
For one time funding for a project providing open-source estimates of the Chinese nuclear program as part of a Request for Proposals for the Consortium to Reduce Nuclear Dangers
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
China’s rapid nuclear expansion has fueled U.S. projections of “strategic parity” by 2035. Yet many estimates of Chinese nuclear growth rest on opaque assumptions, potentially conflating civilian nuclear activity. This project will provide the first modern open-source assessment of China’s fissile material production for its weapons program. Because nuclear weapons require fissile material, credible arsenal estimates must start from actual production and stocks rather than assumptions about delivery systems or reactors. Using advanced open-source intelligence plus expert consultation and analysis of Chinese-Russian nuclear cooperation, the team will produce transparent, bottom-up estimates of fissile stocks and weapons potential.

Internationals Network (Internationals) started as a single high school in 1985 to address multilingual learner (MLL) dropout rates in New York and has since expanded to thirty schools and academies serving nearly 10,000 MLLs in ten districts across six states and Washington, D.C. It reorganized into four regional hubs: New York, DC-Maryland-Virginia, San Francisco Bay Area, and Southern California to better address schools’ needs. Studies show Internationals’ students outperform English learner peers, achieve higher test scores, and have significantly higher graduation rates. For example, in 2024, Oakland International High School’s graduation rate was 21 percentage points higher than the district average for MLLs, and Internationals schools in NYC had an 87 percent graduation rate, 24 points higher than the city average for MLLs. Previous support helped enhance core practices post-pandemic with sixty-seven schools. Renewed support will expand access to high-quality seats for MLL students and improve outcomes such as attendance rates, credit accumulation, test scores, and graduation rates.

For one time funding for a project assessing the capabilities to reduce further nuclear escalation after first nuclear use as part of a Request for Proposals for the Consortium to Reduce Nuclear Dangers
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
The threat of limited nuclear escalation in regional conflicts involving the U.S. and Russia or China is increasingly plausible, yet U.S. policymakers lack robust, empirically grounded insights into how such escalation would shape modern conflict. Most prior analysis has relied on deductive reasoning or strategic-level tabletop exercises that fail to capture operational dynamics. This project aims to fill this gap by designing and conducting a series of operational-level wargames to examine how limited nuclear strikes affect conflict outcomes, escalation dynamics, and crisis stability. The effort will generate practical recommendations to prevent and manage limited nuclear escalation.

For one time funding for a project to explore options to reduce escalation after first nuclear use as part of a Request for Proposals for the Consortium to Reduce Nuclear Dangers
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
12 months
Description
The risk of nuclear use on the battlefield has been higher than at any point since the Cold War. Yet traditional deterrence theory does not adequately provide options for reducing further nuclear escalation after the first use of a nuclear weapon. This dilemma is complicated by today’s rapidly shifting nuclear doctrines, ambiguous nuclear signaling, and increasing risks of misperception. New America will combine scenario planning and strategic gaming to test how U.S. nuclear signals could be interpreted under crisis conditions. The project team willstress-test assumptions with ideologically diverse participants, including former officials and regional specialists, with the aim of identifying which strategies stabilize escalation control and which risk backfiring. The result will be actionable recommendations to policymakers to clarify how adversaries interpret U.S. signals, prevent dangerous misperceptions, and provide credible options to halt escalation after nuclear use.

Description
Nuclear dangers are increasingly entangled across four flashpoint dyads beyond the traditional U.S.-Russia dynamic: U.S.-China, India-Pakistan, India-China, and U.S.-DPRK. Official crisis channels in these four dyads are often unreliable at best and potentially silent when needed the most. This project from Inter Mediate will build on 15 years of quiet facilitation to strengthen crisis dialogues and backchannels across these dyads, leveraging unique access in key nuclear-armed capitals. The initiative seeks to reduce misperceptions, clarify red lines, and lay the groundwork for future and novel nuclear arms control.

Project Title
For the “Andrew Carnegie AI-Nuclear Policy Accelerator” to bridge the knowledge gap between nuclear policy and artificial intelligence
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Artificial intelligence (AI) is rapidly reshaping global security, creating profound—and in many cases, still not fully understood—challenges for nuclear risk reduction and strategic stability. Despite its importance, most nuclear experts in civil society and academia lack the technical fluency to assess how AI will affect the future of nuclear deterrence, escalation dynamics, and arms control. To address this gap, the Institute for Security and Technology will launch the “Andrew Carnegie AI-Nuclear Policy Accelerator” for 25–30 mid-career nuclear security professionals per year. The Accelerator aims to prepare a rising generation of nuclear specialists to better understand and shape future policies and international agreements governing AI and nuclear dangers. The initiative will include immersive bootcamps in Silicon Valley and other seminars to explore core AI concepts and their implications for nuclear security. Fellows will also develop research projects with mentorship from AI and nuclear experts.
