Office of National Security and International Studies
Providing national security and technology policy analysis
NSIS Strategic Plan
Strategic Objectives
NSIS pursues three strategic objectives: (1) Advise senior Los Alamos National Laboratory leadership on the strategic and policy environments in which the lab operates; (2) Help bridge the gap between policy and technical communities, advising policy-makers on what may be possible and technologists on what may be desirable; (3) Serve as a think tank and action group drawing on laboratory-wide resources to offer policy-relevant insight on issues related to the LANL mission, including deterrence, arms control, nonproliferation, and nuclear security.
