National Security Policy Center

The National Security Policy Center is housed at the University of Virginia’s Frank Batten School of Leadership and Public Policy. The Center provides evidence-based teaching, research, and policy engagement on pressing security issues facing the United States and the globe. They seek to increase knowledge, build capability, develop relationships, and improve communication, both within the U.S. government, between the U.S. government and academics, and between the U.S. and foreign powers. They prepare students and security professionals for the challenging security issues of the twenty-first century.
