Project Title
For one time funding for a project to evaluate the capabilities of key emerging technologies for the future of nuclear deterrence dynamics as part of a Request for Proposals on "Emerging Technologies and Nuclear Weapon Risks"
Date
Sep. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Rapidly advancing emerging and disruptive technologies (EDTs) have serious implications for nuclear security. New space-based sensors, artificial intelligence, quantum detectors, and advanced missile defense systems could make nuclear weapons more visible, vulnerable, or easier to target. This could push nuclear-armed states toward more aggressive nuclear postures and increase the risk of nuclear escalation and conflict. To address these dangers, the Program on Science & Global Security at Princeton University will conduct an independent assessment of how these technologies may impact the survivability of nuclear forces. The project will analyze the technical capabilities and limitations of EDTs related to nuclear stability, explore how current destabilizing nuclear dynamics may be exacerbated by EDTs, and identify policy options for reducing future nuclear dangers.

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 will stress-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.

Project Title
For one time funding for a project on strengthening crisis channels and arms control pathways across critical nuclear dyads as part of a Request for Proposals for the Consortium to Reduce Nuclear Dangers
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
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.

For project support of the Youth and Government Program
Date
Dec. 11, 2025
Duration
24 months
Description
Too many young people across the United States lack opportunities to participate in civic life, especially those from low-income backgrounds. The YMCA of the USA created the Youth and Government (Y&G) program to fill this gap by engaging students ages 12–18 in simulations of state government where they legislate, deliberate, adjudicate, and advocate. With Carnegie support, Y-USA will expand Y&G into 18 states, reaching 7,100 additional students and reducing barriers through scholarships and travel support. The program follows the school year with delegation meetings and culminates in state conferences where students assume civic roles and debate bills. Expected outcomes include increased student confidence to mobilize, stronger academic self-efficacy, greater sociopolitical participation, and deeper community contribution, ensuring that participants gain the skills and experiences needed for lifelong civic engagement.
