Programs

• New Nuclear Security Grant Program

  The Stanton Foundation launched a new nuclear security grant program in 2020. The program is open to tenure-track junior faculty (untenured) or the equivalent at a research institute who are conducting nuclear security research as defined by the Foundation: an umbrella term that includes nuclear terrorism, nuclear proliferation, nuclear weapons, nuclear force posture, and, as it relates to security, nuclear energy. The program is open to both US and international applicants.

  Application Process

• Course Development Program

  The Foundation’s only open application grant opportunity in this area is for faculty who wish to develop new undergraduate courses in nuclear issues. These courses are not limited to political science/IR courses; faculty in history, literature, and scientific and engineering disciplines are also encouraged to apply. Preference is given to larger courses and seminars are rarely funded. Graduate courses will be considered on a case by case basis.
